More Ways to Get Free Donuts at Krispy Kreme
I honestly think Krispy Kreme gives away more free donuts than almost any other restaurant chain. If you know when and how to ask, you can score free treats on a regular basis!
Here is a few great ways to get freebies at Krispy Kreme!
Join Krispy Kreme Rewards (It’s Free!)
Everything starts here. I always tell people that joining the Rewards program is a must—it unlocks almost every freebie on this list. It only takes two minutes to sign up, and the freebies start immediately.

Free Donuts for Kids — A’s for Donuts!
I love this motivator for good grades! K-12 students can bring their report card to any Krispy Kreme and get one free donut for every “A” they earned (up to six free donuts!). Note: Your student must be present to redeem this one.
Krispy Kreme Holiday Freebies Calendar
I keep a close eye on these dates because Krispy Kreme is so consistent with their holiday giveaways. Here is what I watch for every year:
- St. Patrick’s Day (March 16-17): Free Green O’riginal Glazed donut if you wear green.
- Tax Day (April 15): Buy any dozen, get a free Original Glazed dozen with code TAXBREAK.
- National Donut Day (First Friday of June): This is the big one! Usually a free donut with no purchase required.
- Halloween: I’ve scored a free donut just for showing up in my costume!
- Veterans Day (Nov 11): Free donuts for veterans and active military with ID.
My Top 5 Tips for Extra Savings
- Watch for the Hot Light: When that light is on, fresh donuts are coming off the line. Some locations give away a free one when the light is on—it never hurts to ask!
- Follow Your LOCAL Store: National deals are great, but local stores sometimes run flash giveaways that aren’t advertised anywhere else. Always follow your closest store on Facebook.
- Always Buy by the Dozen: You essentially get four donuts for free when you buy a dozen instead of individuals.
- Check Your Receipt: Don’t toss it! I’ve found survey codes on mine that I’ve used for a free donut on my next visit.
- Grab Gift Cards at Groupon: I often see Krispy Kreme gift cards for 20% off on Groupon all the time. Stack that with a promo code and you’re winning!
