New Year’s Resolutions for 2011. Some of you may think that this post is late in coming but I just picked my last bell peppers and tomatoes two weeks ago. I did have to move them into the garage with a grow light in order for them to ripen since it had started getting cold here, but the patience paid off because they are delicious. Peppers are one of my favourite vegetables. For you new readers who haven’t been updated before, here is a little background.

Have you started to think about your Christmas spending for 2011? Does the sight of a Christmas tree make you want to hurl? Does it make you cringe to even think about Christmas? I can just hear some readers screaming, "it is 347 days away for crying it out loud". What makes me cringe is realizing how much we spent on Christmas in 2010. Since we use credit cards for almost all of our purchases, we are paying the bills now for our Christmas presents.

November to many of us means nothing more than turning on the heat, finishing the yard work, and beginning our hibernation from the cold. As common as that is, there is much more that happens in this 11th month. Here are some cool things that happen in November.

Here's the list of all the great ecoupons available from Upromise for November. If you haven't already done so, make sure you go to Upromise and load your e-coupons onto your supermarket/drugstore cards. I load them all just in case I decide to buy something. Then I don't have to think about it. The great thing about e-coupons is that you can still use manufacturers' coupons and the money saved with the e-coupon goes directly into your Upromise account.

The beginning of the month usually brings new online coupons. It also means that some coupons have been reset if you hit your limit last month. Coupons.com resets their coupons at the beginning of every month. I always like to go on their site to see what new coupons are available.
