Happy National Donut Day

In addition to being yummy, Donut Day is also kind of interesting.  It began in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Chicago Salvation Army.  According to the Wikipedia article, "Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers."

So, now that you had your history lesson, get out there and enjoy your free donuts from Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme!

Another Donut Day celebration

Dunkin Donuts is also offering free donuts for National Donut Day.  However, they are requiring that you purchase a beverage (other than a cooler beverage) to receive your freebie.  Granted I love Dunkin Donuts coffee, but this earned them second billing in the freebie posts.  

Free Krispy Kreme

To celebrate National Doughnut Day, Krispy Kreme is giving away free doughnuts tomorrow!
