So Christy at Thrifty and Thriving found a hidden catalina deal that is running at Target. And you guys know I don’t believe anything until I test it myself so I was forced to do a chocolate run for research purchases.
What seems to be happening, is that you splurge on a Wonka Exceptionals 3.5oz Chocolate bar at $1.97 and go pay for it. Watch the catalina machine and you should get a coupon for a second bar FREE! Go back and get chocolate bar #2 and pay $0 and then you will hopefully get yet another coupon for a FREE bar!
I don’t know how long this will last or what the limit is but I got 2 bars total and a 3rd catalina coupon to use next time. Now I wanted to leave some bars for others to get a shot at this deal so I just left, but basically that works out to $1.97 for 3 bars for me or .65 each!
Hopefully the catalina is still printing the next time I shop and then the price per bar gets better and better.
So again you are rolling the dice that on this offer because Target doesn’t have this advertised but if you check it out let us know how it works!
See more Target deals for the week here.

It’s like a real golden ticket!

Guess that means I just HAVE to go to target again… and again 😀 not that I mind. I bought a couple mead composition books today $1 each, not a great deal, but I got $5 in coupons for other supplies I have store Q’s for. SO get to put them together for great deals as they go on sale!

I got this a the other day too by buying a reeses peanut butter cup.I also got a $1 off any 12 pack of soda cat. Never seen that one before.
Terra says
I got one yesterday and I didn’t purchase a chocolate bar. All I had in my cart was Ore Ida fries, Smart Ones, pork chops and Cars cereal. I also got a $3/1 Reach 2pk.!
lisa says
I got the free wonka bar catalina yesterday but did not purchase any. Maybe it’s random:)
Erin says
I got a catalina I wasn’t expecting at Target yesterday too. I bought two Up & Up pantyliners with the Target coupons and a cat printed for .75/1 any Up & Up feminine product.
Joni says
I got it and the only candy item I bought was 2 bags of chocolate covered raisins.
elsa says
ever since I got my target red card I don’t get
any catalinas. I noticed and then I prove it
when I pay with my regular card I get them and
right after I used my red card and I did not.
do you know why?
jamie says
It worked for me:) I also used a coupon I had for a B1G1 free for wonka bars. So now I got at least 3 for the price of 1:) Haven’t used the other coupon yet to see if I get a free one with the catalina coupon though…
Charlene says
Jamie, I looked for that Wonka coupon but I thought it had expired?
Leah says
I got the free coupon today as well. Didn’t buy any chocolate, just some toiletries and clearance summer stuff. Who knows what triggers it!
Charlene says
Oh nuts! I shop Target all the time and the only one I have received is from the bar I bought. How exciting, it will be a treasure hunt when I check out now.
Tammy says

Charlene says
Maria, sorry. As I explained in the post it may or may not work. It was working all over the country when I tried it.
