Just walk around the neighborhood or bike around town, me.
Thrift stores.
Local arboretum and other gardens are nice. Parks. Boating, if the weather is right for it.
Itβs also common for arboretums (and other museums) to have free days once a month, if you want to visit on the cheap.
The arboretum near me is free, so I'm lucky that way. Other gardens have a small fee to enter.
My neighborhood is mostly concrete and apartments, but a few blocks away itβs multimillion dollar houses, well kept lawns, and huge shade trees. So I cross the 8 lane highway to get there and enjoy walking around and looking at their expensive shit for free.

Since we got the baby I can't do it anymore but especially when I was single it was one of my favorite things to do. I had a semi professional photo camera and I would go out and do street photography. I would go to another city for a daytrip just to do that.

I don't have a place! It's becoming a major problem.
Third places are disappearing.
I hate spending money and that attitude has turned me into a hermit.
I'm with you on that. The combination of inflation and working from home for the last few years have made me borderline agoraphobic at this point. I think I've had in-person interactions with fewer than 15 people in the last year. It's just too expensive to do anything these days.
It's probably not great for our mental health.
I also work from home, sometimes 4 or 5 days can pass before I realize I haven't been outside in that amount of time.
Park, plant nursery, or Sonic- an American fast food restaurant where you drive up and park or they have a couple of outside tables and it's pretty good for people watching.
I really wish we had more restaurants like Sonic. Not taste-wise, their food is awful. But I like the drive-in experience.
I wanna try a drive-in movie! But I guess they were before my time... :(
Where are you? We have a couple in the Dallas-Fort Worth atea.
