Happy 75th Anniversary, Krispy Kreme! Among your promotions on National Doughnut Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, and National Coffee Day, you are celebrating in style.

Though I keep eyeing the new cotton candy and caramel apple doughnuts, I have not taken the plunge. If you follow my goals, you know I really don’t need any doughnuts. But if I splurge, it will take a chocolate iced, crème filled doughnut. Yum!

National Coffee Day Free Coffee

For all you coffee lovers, Krispy Kreme comes to your rescue offering a free 12 oz. of their house blend in honor of National Coffee Day on Saturday, September 29, 2012. Per Krispy Kreme Doughnuts’ Facebook page, this offer is for all United States and Canadian locations, a limit of one per customer, and no purchase necessary.

In addition to the free house blend offer, Krispy Kreme will give 75 fans a free year of coffee which is 2 bags of coffee shipped to winners each month. To enter the free giveaway, fill in this form and chose your favorite signature coffee (house blend, decaf, or dark roast). The sweepstakes ends on Saturday, September 29, 2012. Good luck!
