Happy National Donut Day 2020, everyone! We can’t blame you if the news took you by surprise, since “National Donut Day” is a pretty new annual occurrence. It’s just as real as most other holidays though, and there’s one important difference. While most holidays like this end up costing you money because you have to buy someone a gift or flowers, National Donut Day actually saves you money on delicious donuts. As a matter of fact, you can even score a donut for free from a few different donuteries.
As is the case with all of these food-based holidays, Offers.com has rounded up all the best deals, discounts, and freebies being offered by nationwide chains. You’ll find them all listed below, and you should also call your favorite local donut shop if it’s not a chain. You never know — it might be offering an even better deal than the ones you’ll find below.
Also, we have one addition to the list that Offers.com didn’t cover. It’s from Smokey Bones, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Here’s the full announcement:
Aventura, Fla. (June 2020) – Anyone can put meat on a donut, but Smokey Bones made a donut from meat. On National Donut Day, meat lovers now have something they can enjoy, too. Smokey Bones has created the ultimate meat/bacon donut as a limited time offer on Friday, June 5 only.
They start with a 3/8th of a slice of Applewood smoked bacon that is hand-carved from an in-house pork belly slab. The bacon is candied in brown sugar and black pepper and roasted until crispy. The crispy slice of bacon is then shaped into a donut ring and hand-dipped in Smokey Bones’ signature vanilla cake batter and cooked until perfectly golden brown. It is then dipped in a glaze of confectioners’ sugar and maple syrup and topped with chunky smoked bacon pieces.
“Our Chef Peter Farrand created something that not only tastes delicious but is also a love letter to our meat-obsessed guests,” said CEO James O’Reilly. “His creativity took a typical maple bacon donut and elevated it to something you won’t find anywhere else.”
The meat donuts come in a bag of three and are priced at $9.99. The donuts are available at select Smokey Bones locations on Friday, June 5th only for in-house dining or takeout.
In addition, for customers who order a Family Feast will receive a free bag of hot, house-made Cinnamon-Sugar Donuts, one of the signature desserts at Smokey Bones. The five donuts are served with chocolate and raspberry dipping sauces. Customers that order the BBQ Party Pack will receive two bags of donuts.
It’s either going to be amazing or an affront to your senses, but definitely keep it in mind. Now, check out the all-dough-based donut deals below.
