We get it—it’s hard to roll out of bed on a weekday, even if you’re on the cusp of the weekend. Luckily, Dunkin’ is here to help you finish out the week strong, and if the $2 Dunkin’ menu isn’t enough to get your gears movin’, this deal definitely will be. All March long, Dunkin’ is serving up free doughnuts on Fridays.
If you’re looking to snag a free Dunkin’ doughnut this Friday, we’ll show you how. And there’s only a small catch!
You Deserve a Free Doughnut This Friday
No matter your taste, Dunkin’ is serving up all the best, like Boston Kreme, Glazed Chocolate or any other doughnut of your choice. Go green for St. Patrick’s Day with a Lucky Shamrock Donut or treat yourself to a Strawberry Frosted Donut, complete with a flurry of colorful sprinkles. After all, Free Donut Friday is when Dunkin’ gives it up and celebrates you.
Dunkin’ announced Free Donut Friday via Instagram earlier this week, and doughnut fans are already waiting on the giveaway. With all of these sweet choices, we really can’t blame them.
If that doesn’t curb your morning craving, Dunkin’ is also rewarding the biggest doughnut fan with a year’s supply of free doughnuts. All you have to do is post an Instagram story or video about TGIFDF, or “Thank God It’s Free Donut Friday.” Post between March 4 and March 20 showing off your hungry side, and you’ll be entered to win.
So where did the “Donuts” go? Here’s why Dunkin’ changed its name.
Wait—Here’s the Catch
Dunkin’ is asking that you sign up for the Dunkin’ DD Perks Rewards Program, which is similar to the Starbucks Rewards Program. You have to buy a beverage to pick up a complimentary doughnut. Craving a mocha latte? Get that and then some every Friday between March 6 and March 27.
The more orders you put in at Dunkin’, the more points you rack up toward a free beverage or goodie (like a free Dunkin’ doughnut) of your choice. In the long run, the DD Perks program is bound to save you more than you spend, so we think it’s worth the investment. Move quickly, though, because this deal won’t last long!
