Krispy Kreme Just Made a Menu Change That Could Cost You More Per Donut – Here’s What to Watch For

Krispy Kreme is quietly adjusting its menu options, and savvy shoppers should take note: these changes could hit your wallet harder than a sprinkle-topped glazed treat. Starting this week, the chain is scaling back its “Mix and Match” dozen deals in select locations, replacing them with a simpler, but pricier, per-donut pricing model. If you’re a fan of grabbing a dozen for under $10, brace yourself—this shift may force you to pay up to 50 cents more per donut, depending on your market. For the average family who buys a dozen every weekend, that’s an extra $6 a month, or $72 a year, just for the same dozen. Worse yet, the chain is testing smaller “surprise” boxes that don’t contain the classic glazed variety, meaning you could unwittingly pay more for less. Consumer advocates warn to check your local store’s price board before ordering and ask about any loyalty app discounts to avoid sticker shock. In a cost-of-living crisis, every penny counts—don’t let Krispy Kreme’s new math sweeten your bill without a fight.
