Top 5 Hobbies for Tightwads

Life on a budget doesn’t have to mean giving up hobbies or special interests. Here are some of our favorite hobbies that will save you money!

  1. Gardening — Growing your own organic produce is good for the environment, and saves lots of money. Kids love to help in the garden, so it is a good way to get the entire family involved as well.

  2. Sewing — Make your own curtains, tablecloths, place mats, or clothes. 

  3. Knitting/Crochet — Knit or crochet blankets, scarves, hats, gloves, socks, dish towels, or baby booties.

  4. Cooking — Forget about eating out, and treat your family to a home-cooked meal.

  5. Car Repair — Learning how to maintain your own car can save your family lots of money, and be a source of pride.
