National Donut Day Freebies 2019

2023 National Doughnut Day Freebies

· 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)

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 Tropical Smoothie Cafe Flip Flop Day

Free Tropical Smoothie Cafe on May 31 🩴🍹

My mom always said nothing goes together like smoothies and flip flops. Wait, she never said that. Nobody has. But that's never stopped Tropical Smoothie Cafe and their annual National Flip Flop Day free smoothie offer! Each year, they give away a free smoothie if you wear a pair of flip flops.

For 2023, that means you will get a free 12 oz. Strawberry Margarita Smoothie at your local store on Wednesday, May 31, from 2-7pm. Remember to wear your “finest” flip flops too! Don't show up in just any old flip flops. Break open the china cabinet and pull out that fancy pair you save for special occasions.

Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day 2024

· Disclosure

Mark your calendars! The 23rd annual Free Comic Book Day is slated for sometime in early May 2024. 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 Paper Shredding

Free 5 lbs Paper Shredding at Office Depot or OfficeMax

· 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.


Free LEGO Mini Model Event

Free LEGO Bunny (April 5 & 6)

· Disclosure

The next free LEGO Make and Take event will take place on Wednesday, April 5 and Thursday, April 6!

A limited amount of free LEGO bunnies will be available on a first come, first serve basis. You can use this list of retail stores to find your nearest location.

Also, I've noticed a few super cheap items lately in LEGO's sale and discount section. If you have a little one with an upcoming birthday who loves LEGOs, it might be worth scoping out.


Free Rita's Italian Ice First Day Spring

Free Ritas Italian Ice 2024

· Disclosure

The annual free Rita's Regular Ice treat returns in March 2024! Celebrate the first day of spring by stopping at your local Rita's for a 7 oz. free Italian Ice treat between 12pm-9pm.

Wait…holy…SPRING IS ALMOST HERE?! YEEEESSSSS!

*rushes outside*

*immediately runs back inside*

Nope, it's still freezing up here. Hopefully by the time this freebie rolls around, the weather will be so nice that everybody squeezes in their own little celebration of spring's arrival. I plan on rolling around in the grass and whispering sweet nothings at some blooming flowers.

Don't forget Rita's offers a nice free birthday food offer as well!

Free Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cone

Free Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cone 2023

· Disclosure

On Monday, March 20, Dairy Queen is holding their annual First Day of Spring freebie by giving away a free small vanilla cone!

Hiffers can swing by their local non-mall Dairy Queen and pick up a free cone all day long. Don't forget this is also the same day Rita's is giving away free Italian Ice.

Thankfully this freebie isn't like Chick-fil-A's annual dress like a cow day. We'd all look pretty silly with white traffic cones on our heads!


Free East Bunny Photo

Free Photo with Easter Bunny

· Disclosure

Update: Folks, I previously messed this post up! This is an offer for a free family photo with the Easter Bunny and not a free pet photo! You might be able to bring your dog or cat to this photo shoot. I honestly don't know. Your best bet would be to call ahead and ask.

To get your free free photo with the Easter Bunny at Bass Pro Shop or Cabela's, you just need to register ahead of time.

Registration for the event begins on March 25 and you'll book a free photo shoot on April 1-9. Then show up at the selected time and get a free 4×6 photo.
