Krispy Kreme is celebrating a rare Friday the 13th World Kindness Day with a 13-cent Original Glazed dozen when you buy any dozen on Nov. 13. Use promo code 13 online.
Friday the 13th is about to get a lot sweeter.
Krispy Kreme is selling Original Glazed dozens for 13 cents on Friday, Nov. 13, when you buy any dozen at regular price, the company announced Thursday, Nov. 12. It’s a one-day deal.
The reason is a calendar quirk. This year, Friday the 13th lands on World Kindness Day.
How do you get the Krispy Kreme 13-cent dozen?
Buy any dozen at regular price on Nov. 13, and you can add a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for 13 cents, according to Krispy Kreme.
The deal works in-shop, or for pickup or delivery through the Krispy Kreme app and website with promo code 13. It’s limited to one 13-cent dozen per guest, while supplies last, at participating U.S. shops.
How much is a regular Krispy Kreme dozen?
It depends on the shop. Krispy Kreme didn’t list prices, and dozen prices vary by location and flavor. Either way, the second dozen of Original Glazed costs just 13 cents, so you walk out with 24 doughnuts for about the price of 12.
Why is Krispy Kreme doing a 13-cent dozen?
To turn an “unlucky” day into a kind one. World Kindness Day falls on Nov. 13 every year, and this is the first time since 2020 that it has landed on a Friday. It won’t happen again until 2037, Krispy Kreme said.
The idea is to keep one dozen and give the other away.
“We think it’s the perfect day to make someone’s day,” Krispy Kreme chief brand and product officer Alison Holder said.
What is World Kindness Day?
An annual day, held every Nov. 13, that encourages people to do something kind for others. Sharing doughnuts with a coworker, neighbor or friend counts, according to Krispy Kreme’s pitch.
The company asks fans to share their act of kindness on social media with #KrispyKreme.
What other Krispy Kreme doughnuts can you get right now?
Two seasonal lineups. The Holiday Seasonal Collection has Hot Cocoa, Sugar Cookie and Caramel Toffee Cheesecake doughnuts, according to Krispy Kreme.
The new Thanksgiving Collection, which launched Nov. 12, adds Berry Cobbler, Caramel Pumpkin, Double Chocolate Crumble and Cinnamon Apple Filled doughnuts. Both are sold individually and by the dozen, while supplies last.
Can you use the 13-cent deal on holiday doughnuts?
Yes and no. Your full-price dozen can be any dozen, including the seasonal flavors. The 13-cent dozen is Original Glazed only.
What other deals are happening on Friday the 13th?
Plenty. Chipotle is bringing back its tattoo BOGO from 3 to 4 p.m. local time on Nov. 13, for anyone with a tattoo, even a drawn-on one.
Over the weekend, Wendy’s has a free small Frosty for Rewards members with any app purchase on Sunday, Nov. 15, and Buffalo Wild Wings has its new pickle menu for National Pickle Day on Saturday.
Tips for the Krispy Kreme 13-cent dozen
Go early. The deal runs while supplies last, and past Krispy Kreme promos have drawn long lines.
Order ahead in the app with code 13 if you’d rather skip the line. Then give your second dozen to someone who could use a good day.
