2023 National Doughnut Day Freebies

Published on Jun 1, 2023 at 6:33 pm · Disclosure

Friday, June 2, 2023 is the next National Doughnut Day. Or National Donut Day, whichever way you swing. It dates back to 1938 and dates forward to delicious, scrumptious free doughnuts and donuts and coffee!

So dig out those extra stretchy pants and skimp on dessert for a few nights because we're about to get some free doughnuts and donuts! As always, you might want to confirm with your local store that they're participating in any promotions. I've listed all the confirmed 2023 offers I could find.

If you spot any I missed, please leave a comment with a link to the offer!

Krispy Kreme – Your pick of any variety donut for free! Their chocolate iced kreme filled have always been a favorite of mine since I was a wee little Goob. (locations)

Dunkin' – Free donut of your choice with the purchase of any beverage. (locations)

LaMar's – They say “Experience the Famous Donut for FREE on June 2.” I really hope experience means eat. (locations)

Duck Donuts – Receive a free cinnamon sugar donut with no purchase necessary. (locations)

Shipley Do-Nuts – One free signature glazed do-nut with any purchase from 5am – 12pm. (locations)

Unconfirmed Freebies

Cumberland Farms – For the third year in a row, many sites and even news stations are reporting you'll get a free doughnut if you buy any sized drink, but I can't find anything from CF confirming this. They've held similar promotions on past National Doughnut Days though, so I'd call ahead if you're interested in this.

If you have a link or press release from Cumberland Farms confirming this freebie, please share in the comments!

Kwik Trip – Get a coupon for a free Cake Donut, Dunker, or Glazer with your Kwik Rewards card. After logging in, go to “Coupons” and click “Add Offer” to save the coupon to your account. (locations)

Free Lowe’s DIY Kid’s Kit – Lawn Mower Photo Holder on June 10

Published on May 23, 2023 at 4:52 pm · Disclosure

Registration is now open online for a free DIY kid's workshop to be held on Saturday, June 10 from 10am-1pm. Here's the signup link.

Lowe's has brought back their popular free kid's projects with DIY kits available every 2nd weekend of each month! The suggested child's age ranges for the Lowe's DIY Kits are between 4-11. All supplies and instructions are included, making it a fun children's task to complete.

Lawn Mower Photo Holder

Your little landscaper's first mower is also a great gift for Dad! This workshop will have kids building their own Riding Lawn Mower toy & photo holder – just in time for Father's Day.

These look so cool – and they actually work! 8 year old Goob would have loved this toy and 39 year old Goob would totally pick it up late at night after all the kids had fallen asleep.

Free Lowe's Kids Workshop History

For over a decade, the free Lowe's Build & Grow workshop clinics were a staple monthly freebie. Just like the free Home Depot Kids Workshop, you could take your children to Lowe's on certain weekends and come away with a cool, custom built freebie. They were in-store workshops though, where attendees could make awesome projects right in Lowe's with the provided tools, safety gear, and work space. Then 30 minutes later the kids would always get to take home the cool toy craft they just made along with a collectible commemorative pin. They even gave coupons and discounts to workshop participants!

They shut the program down in 2017, so it was really nice to see registration for these kits return in 2022. I really hope you and your family have been enjoying these freebies too!

Next Free Home Depot Kids Activity Kit on June 3

Published on May 23, 2023 at 4:42 pm · Disclosure

The next free Kids Activity Kit from Home Depot is almost available! These in-store events take place on the first Saturday of each month from 9am to 12 noon, which means the next event is Saturday, June 3! Space is limited, so you need to register a spot under “In-Store Kids Workshops”

If you prefer, you can purchase this & previous month's kit here while supplies last and guarantee you'll get one! This is completely optional though. You can also purchase an earlier kit, which supplies last. I've linked to the ones I could find down below.

June 2023 Freebie Event: Putting Green

Combine recreation with a hands-on DIY design challenge as students build a miniature golf course out of everyday objects. Students will learn about the necessary conditions to create the perfect putt.

In addition to keeping the craft forever, each kit comes with a free certificate of achievement, free Workshop Apron, and free commemorative pin. You can find more info on this month's free craft here.

These free craft kits are intended for kids aged 5-12, though the age range is simply a guide instead of a strict rule. I can also confirm grown adults aged over 30 sometimes have trouble helping their little brother because I'm terrible with tools.

Don't miss the free Workshop Extension Activity!

Each free kit also has an “extension activity” created in tandem with Discovery Channel Education. These are kind of cool, as they let your child “upgrade” the free craft they built. For instance, the November 2021 Amphibious Military Vehicle extension teaches your child how to build life vest for their imaginary passengers.

Free Home Depot Kit 2023 Schedule

If you really want to plan ahead, here's the full Home Depot kids workshop schedule for 2023. While supplies last, free kits are available during their entire month.

January: Snowball Game
February: Valentines Day Vase
March: Pinball Game
April: Poolside Bird Feeder
May: Flower Planter
June: Putting Green
July: Fireworks Bean Bag Toss
August: Treasure Chest
September: ???
October: ???
November: ???
December: ???

Get craft kits for home for under $5!

If you miss out on any kits, Home Depot is now selling previous months kits online for less than $5! After purchase, you can opt for free in-store pickup at your own convenience.

Home Depot Promotional Sales

While you're at the workshop, you might be interested in the latest online and in-store promotions at The Home Depot! Many of these deals are not tied to any event, with up to 75% discounts!

Home Depot also has a cool “Buy of the Day” section, where they offer one-day only sales at huge discounts. It's worth checking out, you never know what they have!

Free Comic Book Day 2023 on May 6

Published on May 5, 2023 at 1:00 pm · Disclosure

Mark your calendars! The 22nd annual Free Comic Book Day is slated for Saturday, May 6, 2023. We can get a free comic book that day at participating locations and this year they'll have even more freebies with color coded labels to distinguish between All Ages, Teen, and Mature comics.

So mark your calendar and pick up a free issue for the … kids at home? Suuuuuure, let's pretend it's not for you and say it's for the little ones.

It's been years since I've read comic books. I even tried drawing my own once. It didn't have many super heroes, but starred a kid who refused to eat his vegetables, couldn't talk to girls, and looked ridiculous in his baggy jeans. I guess it wasn't so much a comic book as a journal. No wonder Marvel never took me seriously.

To make matters worse, I harshly learned on a recent date that comic books aren't an appropriate answer to “what have I read lately?” Suffice to say, there wasn't a second date.

Free 5 lbs Paper Shredding at Office Depot or OfficeMax

Published on Apr 16, 2023 at 10:27 pm · Disclosure

It's tax season, which means it's my annual reminder to ponder if I should keep lugging all my old taxes around to every new apartment I move into. Since the IRS says to only keep around 3-6 years of your latest tax documents, I guess it's time for me to finally shred these 1999 forms where I earned a grand total of $28.

If you've also got a pile of sensitive documents you want to dispose of, you can get 5 lbs. of free shredding at Office Depot or OfficeMax with this coupon at the bottom of the page.

This offer expires on Saturday, April 29.
