Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of some fun but inexpensive (<$40) projects for a beginner-intermediate.

What kind of projects are you interested in trying? Are you looking to use or improve certain skills? Want a complete, step-by-step kit, or want to plan and pick out things for yourself? And do you want something mostly focused on electronics, or broader?
http://www.instructables.com/ has loads of cool projects and instructions to give you ideas. SparkFun’s tutorials https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials are also a great resource for ideas and starting points.
Rebuild an microwave oven transformer into something useful. Learn a lot and microwave ovens are at a lot of garage sales.
