Krispy Kreme celebrates 'Day of Dozens' Wednesday with sweet $1 deal

USA TODAY
Take advantage of Krispy Kreme's "Day of the Dozens" deal Wednesday to be the office champion. Get a dozen doughnuts for $1 with purchase of a dozen.

December packs a lot of sweet deals (and calories), and Wednesday is no different.

It happens to be 12/12 and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts' annual "Day of the Dozens."

With the purchase of any dozen doughnuts Wednesday including holiday specialties, get dozen of the chain’s Original Glazed Doughnuts for $1. There's a limit of two deals per customer.

The company says this deal is valid at participating shops across the United States, so to be on the safe side you might want to call before heading out.

According to NationalDayCalendar.com, which doesn't recognize Day of the Dozens as one of Wednesday's made-up holidays, Dec. 12 is National Ambrosia Day, National Ding-a-Ling Day, Gingerbread House Day and Poinsettia Day.

The next sweet deal day is Saturday, which is National Cupcake Day.
