The Best Food Deals For National Donut Day

Donuts have been a sweet treat staple forever, and it’s no secret that many favor them over every other dessert. I mean, people love donuts enough to make entire bakeries selling them exclusively! This has built up to national chains that serve as easy on-the-go breakfast and coffee stops, whether during a road trip, morning commute, or just as a “treat yourself” pick me up. Friday, June 6 is every donut lover’s favorite day, and luckily, there are tons of freebies and National Donut Day food deals to score some delicious holed treats.

Duck Donuts

This North Carolina chain boasts some of the most creative donut flavors. On Friday, get a free cinnamon sugar donut, no purchase necessary (only available in stores). You can also snag a half dozen cinnamon sugar donuts for just $6.

Dunkin’

When thinking about a nationally beloved donut spot, your mind immediately goes to Dunkin’. This Friday, don’t miss out on a free classic donut with the purchase of any drink.

But to make things even more exciting, Dunkin is dropping an exclusive limited-edition merch in collaboration with Stoney Clover Lane. Some Dunkin locations will be giving out a donut in a mini donut bag made with the famous preppy brand. Some other merch will be available on the Stoney Clover Lane website on Friday, including a pouch with a pink sprinkled donut on one side and chocolate sprinkled donut on the other, iced coffee and donut charms, and Dunkin patches. If you’re a Dunkin lover and a fashionista, don’t miss this drop!

Keurig

Despite not being a donut shop, Keurig wanted to hop in the National Donut Day fun. From June 6 through 8, you can get 50% off all coffee and Keurig pod products on the website using the code DONUT50. Time to order some Original Donut Shop K-cups.

Krispy Kreme

If glazed donuts are your jam, I’m sure it’s no surprise that Krispy Kreme makes the best. The chain is giving away a free donut to all customers, no purchase necessary, on Friday. But if you’re looking for more than just one, they have exclusive deals for National Donut Day that will make it hard to say no to upping your donut count. Think $2 for a dozen glazed donuts when you buy another dozen of any flavor at their regular price.

To keep the celebration going, Krispy Kreme launches their “14 Days of Original Glazed” promotion on Saturday, which includes these deals all throughout June. Members of the Krispy Kreme Rewards loyalty program can get a dozen glazed donuts for $9.99, and all customers can get the dozen for 13 cents with the purchase of another at their regular price. Check their website for specific dates and more details on the deals!

Lidl

This supermarket chain is feeling the FOMO of not being a donut shop. You can get a free glazed donut with any purchase on June 6 if you order via the MyLidl app.

Sheetz

Weekend deals appear to be trending because from June 6 to 10, Sheetz customers can get one free donut with the purchase of any fountain drink, coffee, or bottled beverage. Make sure to add the deal under the “OFFERZ” tab on the Sheetz app.
