National Donut Day 2024 Deals That Will Save You Cash, But Watch For The Calorie Fine Print
Your wallet gets a sweet break this National Donut Day, but here's the catch: those "free" and deeply discounted donuts from chains like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin', and local shops are designed to get you in the door to spend more on coffee and other items. While you can snag a free classic glazed or a buy-one-get-one deal, budgeting experts warn the average consumer walks out paying $5 to $8 more on impulse purchases like lattes and breakfast sandwiches. So, go for the treat, but leave your credit card in the car to avoid turning a freebie into a costly habit.
