Free Donuts- What?

National Donut Day is this Friday, June 7th.  National Donut Day started in
1938 by the Salvation Army as a way to a thank the “donut lassies”.  A “donut
lassie” was a female volunteer who would give treats to the solders on the front
lines during World War I as a morale booster.  The Salvation Army still
participates in National Donut Day, but now request donations which go
towards providing the following programs:  food pantries, meals on wheels,
senior citizen feeding programs and childcare nutrition programs.
From my experience, on National Donut Day, you can score free donuts at
various locations using their deals.   I have gotten donuts from Meijers, Krispy
Kreme and Dunkin Donuts over the years. We always take a group and are
prepared to wait in a long line to pick up our donut.    The wait is also part of
the fun: waiting, giggling, talking and watching the donuts being made. This
year we have swim practice in the morning and will be scoring our donut in the
early afternoon for a yummy afternoon snack.   
Here are the deals that I have found:


Krispy Kreme- 1 free donut per person

Walmart- 1 free sample coffee and donuts.  Unfortunately we do not have a
Walmart participating in this promotion, but check here to see if there is one in
your area:


Dunkin Donuts is offering a free classic donut w/ purchase of a beverage.
(FYI- Dunkin Dounuts has recently removed the word Donuts from it's name.)
Meijers- 1 free donut when you purchase any bakery item.  
Duck Donuts- One free bare, cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar donut, per
customer, per day. No coupon necessary. (participating stores only)


Check back and see which donuts we picked and go yourself, snap a picture
and post it in the comment section below.
