I remember when the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser first came on the market. Marc immediately bought one to use on all of the dark streaks that had accumulated on the white walls of our house. I started off a skeptic, but was an immediate convert. It worked amazingly.

And it’s just gotten better over the years. I received the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra Power to try out, and it works great. It removes marker, crayon, dirt, and even stuff you can’t identify. I use it to scrub my stove, and it gets off the grease.

My only complaint is about the tiny white bits that come off when scrubbing a rough surface. But they’re a small price to pay for a clean surface

Last month, the folks at Little Debbie asked if I’d like to sample some of their 100 calorie snacks. Since I’m always up for trying something new, I immediately said yes. But I wasn’t expecting such a large box to show up last week. The sampler pack included one box of each variety:

• Chocolate Cakes
• Yellow Cakes
• Nutty Bar Singles
• Nutty Bar P.B. Stix
• Gingerbread Cookies
• Marshmallow Treats
• Triple Fudge Brownies
• Snow Puffs

I mentioned the Little Debbie snacks to my Weight Watchers leader and she was so excited. She’d seen an ad for them in the Weight Watchers magazine, and noted that at $1.79, they’re actually cheaper than their Weight Watchers counterparts. Each treat seems to be worth 2 points.

And the best part is, Little Debbie wants to give away three of these sampler packs to CFO readers!

To enter, just visit the Little Debbie web site, then come back and fill out the form with the best thing you saw over there besides the 100 calorie snacks. (If you’re reading this in a feed aggregator or email, you’ll need to click through to the post to reach the form.)

For an additional entry, subscribe to CFO via RSS or email and fill out the form again to let me know you’ve done so.

For a third entry, spread the word about this contest - tell a friend or write about it on your own blog. Then let me know about it by filling out the form again.

You can enter up to three times (one for each type), and you must submit separate entries for each type. Only one entry of each type per email address will be counted. I’ll select the winner using Random.org and announce them here on CFO as well as contact them by email. The winner will have 48 hours to send me their address, otherwise their prize will be forfeited and a new winner will be selected.

The giveaway ends at 6:00 p.m. PST on Tuesday, January 13. Sorry, this giveaway is open only to residents of the U.S. and Canada.

Good luck!

As I mentioned last week, Swag Bucks is offering new ways to win bucks. I don’t know if this is going to be a daily thing, but today, the main search page says the SwagCode of the day is “freeswag.” It worked for me - I got a free Swag Buck.

We’ll just have to wait and see if there’s a free code of the day tomorrow.

Can you believe it? We were rear-ended the week before Thanksgiving and we still don’t have our car back. The body shop has pushed their completion date back by a few days five times now for over two weeks. It’s incredibly frustrating, but we are still surviving as a one-car family, something I would not have thought possible two months ago.

However, one result of being a one-car family is that I just don’t get to the drugstores as often as I would like. I’m sure my favorite cashier at Walgreens thinks I’m dead since he hasn’t seen me since the accident, after seeing me at the same time every week for months. But I managed to get to CVS and Walgreens today, a little bit unexpectedly so I missed a couple of deals at Walgreens that I’d like to go back for. Hopefully that’ll be possible.

Here are some highlights:

At Walgreens, you can use the $2.50 off Electrasol coupon from yesterday’s paper on the 20-count box of gel packs, then submit for rebate #31, which will get you $1.50 back. Assuming you have the rebate credited to a gift card, you’ll make a profit of 66 cents. Progresso soup is 4 for $5 with the in-ad coupon, so if you have any $1.10 off printable coupons, you’ll pay just 15 cents per can (note: the coupons might be printing for a lower value now - I’ve printed my max so I can’t confirm). Selected Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioners are on sale for $2.99. If you use the $2 off coupon in the EasySaver catalog and a $1 off coupon, it’ll be free. (There were coupons in the 11/9 and yesterday’s Red Plum inserts). And if you have any $1 off Reynolds Aluminum Foil coupons from the 11/16 Smart Source insert, you can get free foil (it’s 99 cents with the in-ad coupon; have the manufacturer coupon scanned first to ensure it doesn’t beep).

At CVS, you can get another bottle of Garnier Fructis for free after ECB and coupon. But my best deal of the day was on the free-after-ECB in January Children’s Throat Coolers. They’re $4.99, and there were Buy one, get one free coupons in the 12/7 Smart Source insert (you can also print the coupon). The coupon lets you pay $4.99 and get $9.98 back in ECBs. I was sure the store would be out of stock, but there were actually plenty. Finally, I think I’m going to have to go back to do the “Great Deal” conceived by Erin at Coupon Cravings. I just hope I can make it back to 2 drugstores this week!

For the time being, I’m avoiding Rite Aid since they don’t have outstanding deals on anything I need and it’s a hassle to get there at the moment. But you can make a $3 profit this week on SoyJoy bars - Lori at Hooray for Freebates tells you how.
