What’s in Your Wallet?

Ten Fun Things Under $10

You’re not banking on money falling from the sky. But there’s always fun to be had with a tenner.

1. Tag, you’re it, with Montana Gold spray paint and cap set from Sam Flax.

2. Feeling lucky? Pick a peck of lotto tix. (It’s all for the kiddies.)

3. Cool off with sweet tea at Park 75. Brewed iced tea cubes mean it never waters down.

4. Don’t be a drip. A cup of joe at mug hub Method Coffee Bar will set you back barely five bucks. Wi-Fi doesn’t cost a thing.

5. Set the scene with bright cloth place mats from Swoozie’s. The extra $5 for the monogram is worth it.

6. Lap up nuanced flavors of local honey at Harris & Clark.

7. While away the hours with a best-seller or dusty old novel from book bungalow Atlanta Book Exchange (591 North Highland Avenue; 404-681-3122‎).

8. Take a jukebox spin at Waffle House. (Livin’ la vida scattered, smothered, and covered.)

9. You wear your heart on your sleeve. Dress your baked goods accordingly with a sweetly shaped cookie press.

10. Keep papers in their place with silver initial paperweights from Festivity.

And make it count.
