Oh, hey, Krispy Kreme is giving away doughnuts again! We’re not complaining at all. On the contrary, we’re super excited about Krispy Kreme’s latest deal because it happens to coincide with one of the most stressful days of the year: Tax Day. Sometimes a satisfying bite of doughnut can at least temporarily ease the pain of that line on your tax return. Or, it can be a way to celebrate getting your money back.
Regardless (or even if you filed your tax return in February and haven’t thought about it since), Krispy Kreme has a deal for you on April 15. Just like the past two tax days, you can get a dozen original frosted doughnuts for the price of just the sales tax.
The doughnut chain says the super-low-priced dozen is an extra “deductible” on Tax Day. For the third year in a row, when you buy a dozen original frosted doughnuts or assorted doughnuts (including the limited-time Hoppy Easter Collection) in-store, you can get a second dozen original frosted doughnuts for just the sales tax. Taxes vary by state, depending on each state’s sales tax rate.
If you don’t want to spend even a few extra pennies on Tax Day (we understand), you can get a second dozen for free when you order online. Just head to Krispy Kreme’s website, place your order, choose pickup or delivery, then add the first dozen full-price chocolates to your cart and the second dozen plain frosted chocolates. Use the promo code “TaxBreak” at checkout, and your second dozen plain frosted chocolates will be completely free.
Customers who order in-store are limited to two dozen (including sales tax). Customers who order online for pickup or delivery are limited to one dozen (free).
Two dozen may be a lot of doughnuts, but we have some suggestions for what to do with the leftovers. You can freeze the plain frosted doughnuts, remove one or two at a time, pan-fry them, and top them with melted ice cream to make Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Or, you can just drop off a box of doughnuts at your tax preparer’s office, minus the small talk. They’ll probably really appreciate it.
