Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

With our horrendously unaffordable housing market (recently ranked as the second-most unaffordable in the world) and criminally good dining scene, saving money in the Harbour City can be pretty darn challenging. Back in April, we asked our readers to share their tips for saving money in Sydney, and they delivered the goods, with suggestions that went way beyond hitting up a local happy hour (though it’s not a bad place to start). Now, we’ve called on the Time Out community to share their favourite free and cheap ways to stay entertained. Alongside the suggestion to "stay home and sleep", there were some amazing ideas put forward – we thought we’d share some highlights to help you get out and about on a budget.

These are the best free and cheap things to do in Sydney, according to locals

Philadelphia’s hometown star cookie operation of 20-plus years, Insomnia Cookies, has hefty competition. Just last year, New York’s Chip City Cookies and Florida-based Blueprint Cookies both opened their first Philadelphia storefronts a few blocks away in Rittenhouse. Next up: Levain Bakery plans to open a brand new bakery at 1518 Walnut Street. Not only is Levain the latest addition to Philadelphia’s explosive sweet treats scene—there are more than 25 boutique bakeries in the city— but the chain is also part of an ongoing New York-Philadelphia expansion scene that includes the likes of Laser Wolf, HipCityVeg, Emmy Squared, Paulie Gee’s Soul City Slice, Han Dynasty, Fette Sau, and others. While locals debate if that’s good or bad for our city, cookie enthusiasts are ready to line up for a taste.

In case you haven’t noticed, Sydney’s speed limits have been gradually dropping in recent years. Nowadays, 75 per cent of local and regional streets in the City of Sydney have a 40 kilometre an hour speed limit or lower – up from just five per cent of roads in 2004. And now, even more roads are set to fall under this 40km/h mandate, as the NSW Government works with the City of Sydney to make the city safer.

When Peacock launched in 2020, the NBC Universal streaming service was basically nothing but a delivery system for The Office. Over the last four years, though, it’s built a library of original programming, other classic TV shows and even a few movies. Admittedly, its film selection is lighter than some other platforms, even while drawing from the weighty catalogues of Universal Pictures and Focus Features. But there’s still plenty to enjoy, from mainstream blockbusters to modern horror classics to foreign action flicks to arthouse dramas. If you just can’t watch Jim and Pam fall in love again, try distracting yourself with one of these 20 awesome selections.
