Go nuts for doughnuts because Friday June 6th, itās about to get pretty hype. Knowing that this may be the one day of the year I eat a doughnut (itās not my top dessert) I searched far and wide for where I can get doughnuts foā freeāor at least for a discount.
National Doughnut Day began in 1938 when the Salvation Army handed out doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. Now itās pretty much an excuse to eat and Instagram more doughnuts than usual. Iām not complaining.
Hereās a list of places to go almost anywhere in the country. All the free doughnuts areĀ while supplies lasts of course.
- Krispy Kreme: You donāt even need to buy anything to get a free doughnut. Locations all over the US.
- Dunkin Donuts: Get a free ādonutā with the purchase of any beverage. Locations are all over the US.
