Tips, Deals and Offers to get Free or Cheap Krispy Kremes

Inspired by millarcat’s comprehensive Greggs thread, I thought I’d put one together for Krispy Kreme - we all know how pricey their doughnuts can be. In some cases, I've also given examples to illustrate their recent deal history.

At the time of submission, the ONLY limited-time promo they are running is the 20th Birthday 20 million smiles giveaway:
Free points on the Krispy Kreme app for select users + gift your code prize to be rewarded for your generosity e.g. gift 100 pts to get 150 points.

[09] Free giveaways - dozens, 4-boxes, single doughnuts, single OGs

Look out for their giveaways, they’ve done quite a few in the past year or so and while some of their stores have had high demand, I’ve noticed that other stores have not seen much traffic for giveaways, so many more people could have got their hands on some free Krispy Kremes. Be sure to sign up to their loyalty app, as some of them are exclusive to members.

[04] Heavily discounted boxes of unsold Krispy Kremes via Too Good To Go app

Select Krispy Kreme stores partner with Too Good To Go (TGTG), which aims to combat food waste by listing end-of-shelf-life food for collection at a heavily discounted price. The catch is that what you get is a mystery because it depends on what is left unsold at the end of the day. Perhaps you’ll get a haul, or perhaps very little. Perhaps you’ll get your favourites, perhaps you’ll get the ones you dislike.

More info and download the TGTG app from here: toogoodtogo.com/en-gb

[03] 10% discount for students / BLC / NHS

All you have to do is show valid ID in-store to claim. Can’t stack with other offers or rewards.

---

[02] 50% off Staff discount

A benefit of working for Krispy Kreme is that they offer employees a 50% staff discount. If you’re lucky, you’ll know someone who works there that could help you out…

---

[01] Cashback (e.g. Airtime Rewards, TCB, Quidco, your bank)

Lastly, more of a reminder. If you’re set on buying from Krispy Kreme, check your cashback app or bank cashback scheme to see if Krispy Kreme are listed there and be sure to opt-in if necessary before you make your purchase.
