On Sunday mornings it's free admission in most museums here, so I do that.
Most art galleries are free entry too. I sometimes go to opening nights, entry is free and there's free drinks.
Movies here only cost 5,20 € ($6,50) so that's still affordable, plus if you have a subway travel pass you can get a discount through that.
Movies at home, playing cards is good too.
Lunch or dinner with friends where everyone brings something with them.
Going for a walk in the park or on the beach, playing volleyball or doing yoga on the beach too.
I go surfing, once you have the gear, it's cheap enough.
A swim in the sea, or sitting on the beach chatting and reading and catching some sun.
Gardening on the balcony.
There are a few free music concerts around Lisbon also, you just have to keep your eyes open.
Lisbon is an interesting city, there are a few quirky stores in some areas so sometimes I like to just walk around finding them and being amused at what they offer. It's a way to get to know the city.
Walking around with a camera taking photographs of interesting things you see.
Most clubs will let you in for free here if there's plenty of girls...as long as you're not having more than one drink and want to dance, it's a good night.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
