Here are all the places you can get free donuts and cheap food on National Donut Day
Friday, June 1st has to be one of the best days of 2018: it’s National Donut Day, which means that you can eat all of the donuts all day long. It doesn’t really get much better than that, to be honest. It’s such an easy “holiday” to take part in, too, because donuts are everywhere, and really, it’s hard for them to be bad. Plus, there are so many flavor options out there, as bakeries and shops have gotten more and more creative. Another reason to indulge? There are so many delicious donut deals for National Donut Day — some places are even giving away free donuts!
There are so many deals out there, actually, that it might feel a little overwhelming. Where are you supposed to start? Should you get free donuts or just discounted donuts (both, obviously)? Should you only stick to one treat, or should you try as many places as possible (we all know the answer to that one)?
We’ve tried to make things easier for you by making a list of the donut deals that are going on for this very special holiday. While you probably won’t be able to take advantage of each and every one of them (some are location-specific), you’re guaranteed to find one deal you can take part in.
Check out all of the ways you can get free or discounted donuts on National Donut Day:
1Dunkin’ Donuts
Let’s kick things off with Dunkin’ Donuts. The company is giving away a free donut of your choice, while supplies last, with the purchase of any beverage. Coffee and a donut is a deal you really can’t beat.
2Krispy Kreme

Dunkin’ Donuts isn’t the only spot to snag a freebie. Krispy Kreme is also giving away free donuts to anyone who comes into the shop, no purchase necessary. And yes, you can choose whichever donut your heart desires.
3Papa John’s
For #NationalDonutDay we’ve got something big in the works. Well, technically small, but also big. And sweet. pic.twitter.com/km74ekyiWv

On June 1st, Papa John’s will be introducing their new Donut Holes. Each customer will receive a free order of warm donut holes with any online pizza purchase. And listen to how delicious they sound: cinnamon sugar-coated donuts with caramel creme in the center. Oh, and they’re giving one customer a trip to New Zealand’s Donut Island. NBD.
4Burger King

If you prefer salty and savory to sweet, then head over to Burger King, where they’ll be selling a “flame-grilled donut.” It’s basically a Whopper with a hole in it, but still very cool. They’re only in five select locations, though: New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, and Salt Lake City, so you may need to take a road trip.
