National Donut Day: How to Score Free Donuts and Other Sweet Deals

Friday is National Donut Day, when bakeries across the nation tempt customers with free or discounted donuts. 

The origins of the donut are steeped in mystery — heck, we can’t even agree on how it’s spelled. Bakers have been serving fried dough for millennia, but in the mid-1800s, sailor Hanson Gregory swore his mother, Elizabeth, came up with the idea of a round donut with an empty center, where the dough might not cook through.  Elizabeth Gregory filled the middle with hazelnuts, according to Smithsonian magazine, and called the delectable treat a “doughnut.”

National Donut Day itself originated in 1938 as a way to honor the women who had served donuts and compassion to soldiers during World War I. Here are some national and regional chains offering National Donut Day deals. Check with your local haunts for more goodies.

(Or do both, we won’t judge.) When you come in you’ll also get a coupon to return on June 10 to try a free new mystery glazed donut that Krispy Kreme teases as “berry sweet.” And all day on Friday, Krispy Kreme baseball caps are 50% off.  After enjoying all those donuts, your head might be the only part of you that hasn’t expanded.
