The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
Hey iReporters -- We want to give you a sneak peek at something we're pretty excited about. Next week, as part of CNN's "Road to Rescue" economy coverage, we're challenging iReporters to show us that it's possible to be thrifty but still live a happy, healthy and fabulous life.
We call it Thrifty and Thriving! Here's how it works. Each day, we'll feature a new economic challenge along with your thrifty tips and stories. During the week, you'll get the chance to share everything from how to make the best brown bag lunch to penny-pinching lessons from Grandma to thrift-store shopping tips.
Here's the key: we want you to have fun while being financially responsible. Your stories will be part of CNN's network-wide coverage all week. If you want to get started, here's where you can find all the assignments .
We look forward to seeing your awesome iReports!
Why not have students get involved too. I think it's great to see young people being thrifty. My boys definitely are.
That's called camera-steering Tyson...
Leave us here with raffles, puzzles, word games and cocktails for happy hour over the weekend.
