When I first got my dog as a puppy, I spent about $100 on toys for him at a pet shop. The funny thing is that he hardly ever used any of them. The things he loves most are things from around the house (including shoes and socks unfortunately). here are some of his favorite toys that you can get for practically nothing.

Old bicycle tires. The first one I used was from an old bike of mine. You can usually get them for free from a bicycle shop. This is a fantastic tug toy

Old towels. These are another great tug toy and give the towels an extra life before they get thrown away.

2 liter plastic bottles. I just used the empty ones after I finish drinking the pop inside.

Stuffed animals. You can pick these up at any garage sale for almost nothing, but be caredul they don't have plastic parts for their eyes since they will likely get devoured.
