Keri W.'s "things to do when bored and broke!"

Boredom happens. Especially when you’re broke. Sometimes it seems like life would be great if you just had a little cash…but don’t worry, you don’t really need money to have fun.
This list assumes that you have 1$ or less, and a few standard household supplies (like scissors). Other than that, its as free as laughter.
