Title: Today is National Donut Day 2019! Freebies available!
Post by: seesawing on June 07, 2019, 10:52:33 am
It's here again ~ DOnut Day~ so if you're so inclined head to Krispy Kreme or Walmart Supercenters for a free donut!  Dunkin' Donuts requires a drink purchase to get the freebie donut.

I wish I was going out today because I would surely take advantage of this.  It is raining here today and I don't want to get out in it.

I was just at Walmart Super Center but there were no donuts.  I remember they had them last year.

I never heard of this before.  Also, I see the catch to it is to buy a drink to wash it down with. :)

I work in a kroger bakery.  Before I even got there today the baker had to make donuts again.  And we weren't giving anything away for free.  It's the first time in nearly 5 years of working there have I ever seen or heard of a manager telling the baker to make another break out of donuts.  When I left there were only 12 left.  WOW!

Went to Dunkin to pick up some donuts and enjoyed them...

Yes that is cool but Dunkin' Donuts requiring a beverage purchase is kind of making the donut not really "free"so their donuts aren't that good in my opinion anyway so they can keep it.  Knowing them there was a limit on what kind too but I don't know that for sure.

That was so funny! I laughed so hard when I saw it. Thanks for posting that pic!

I've never heard of national donut day. Thanks for heads up about it. I would like to go to Krispy Kreme and pick up a donut. I've heard Krispy Kreme makes the best donuts. You got me hungry! I have a taste for glazed donut (my favorite) or a boston creme pie donut (I think they're underrated :) ). I also like sprinkled donuts (With the white frosting and sprinkles on top) and the glazed cinnamon twists. I'm not really into cake donuts, but if I eat one I would prefer a chocolate donut. I think I'll stick with this tradition. It sounds delicious.

I didn't know it was National Donut Day the other day until a co-worker brought donuts for all to work.  That was extra "sweet" of her!

I had a blueberry donut, which was very good.

I did not get to go find a free donut today, it is probably a good thing because I could not have stopped at one I would have ended up buying a dozen!

June 21 is also National Smoothie Day !

Today provided a variety of options for discounted or free smoothies within a 2 or 3-hour window in my neck of the woods, but my only chance was to use the Smoothie King app.  Make a purchase and you are qualified for a free 20 oz. smoothie with a value of $6.00 redeemable within next 6 days.  Not bad!

USA Today published a great article on these and other food deals/discounts you should check out. :)

YAY! 🍩 Donut Freebie Alert! 🍩  Today is the day Krispy Kreme launches a new type of donut (one filled with classic vanilla cream and one with chocolate cream) timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission.

 “As America prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, we want to give our fans a new taste experience that is out of this world,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer, in a statement.

Sat., June 22, Krispy Kreme offers its new 🍩 for free!

Oh man! I totally missed out on this..ugh! But I did take advantage of a buy one get one free at a local coffee shop!
It use to be only just one medium beverage purchase. This year the company made it any beverage purchase and a free donut for each one. You bought three coffees; three free donuts for you.
