That twenty bucks can buy a lot of groceries, or school lunches, or it's being s

One man's trash is another man's treasure.  Take a look at these "unique" ways of holiday decorating.  Have you seen any of these before? Anyone you would do yourself Mr./Ms. "Broke College Student"? WARNING:  Some of these might be offensive to those with a delicate sense of humor...
