Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: 12 Free Valentines with Dozen Doughnut Purchase

February 1, 2013 by Tracy

A new Krispy Kreme Doughnuts location opened nearby within the past two weeks. As our family is a fan of their chocolate iced creme-filled doughnuts, I have exhibited great self control in passing by each day. However, this promotion defeated my will power. 🙂

With any dozen doughnut purchase, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will gift you a dozen Valentine cards. Each card is a coupon for a free doughnut of your choice. I was giddy as last year’s Valentine’s coupons were limited to glazed doughnuts.

On Wednesday, I waited patiently in the drive-thru for more than 10 minutes. When I placed my order, I requested the Valentines as I was unsure if I needed to ask for them. To my joy and delight, the employee not only handed me the dozen of warm chocolate iced creme-filled doughnuts, he also gifted me a few sheets of the Valentine’s Day cards due to the longer wait times.

Though your Krispy Kreme Doughnut location may not be as generous, you can still get a great deal. My son has already written out his Valentines and put together the little packages for his class. My daughter has her packages together, but we are still working on writing out the Valentines.

As to the doughnuts, we enjoyed them with breakfast Thursday morning before heading out to our museum field trip. We even had a few more remaining, but they will be devoured by the time this post publishes. I don’t have that much self-control. 😉

If you are looking for a sweet excuse for some doughnuts, then seize Krispy Kreme Doughnuts’ promotion before their supply runs out. Enjoy!

Appreciating their customers, Subway is offering the 6” cold cuts combo or 6” meatball marinara for only $2 each until December 31, 2012.

If you find your time limited and you are near a Subway location, a $2 lunch or dinner can solve time constraints without breaking the bank.

Enjoy using time wisely this holiday season. For more family activities, visit Using Time Wisely’s Event page on Facebook. I’m also documenting My 25 Day ‘til Christmas each day. Though I haven’t completed the list entirely to-date, I’m back on track. Come connect with me on Facebook to post your progress. Happy planning!

Expired Papa Murphy’s Pizza: Customer Appreciation Days

From Thursday, September 13 through Sunday, September 16, participating Papa Murphy’s Pizza locations celebrate Customer Appreciation Days.

During this promotion, Papa Murphy’s pepperoni pizzas are $5. Yeah!

Papa Murphy’s Pizza is hands down our family’s favorite pizza supplier. I use the word supplier because Papa Murphy’s is a take and bake establishment.

Take and bake means, you order your pizza, and they create and wrap it. You make payment, take it home, and bake it.

Their pizzas are fantastic. Our favorite is the Chicago-style stuffed pizza which feeds our family of 5 and my husband’s parents. Yes, one pizza for 4 adults and 3 children.

The cost is worth every penny – $13 for a family-size (using a coupon, of course.) With frequent coupons and a limit of 3 per coupon, I order three pizzas, pay, and bring them home. I bake one to eat and freeze the other two for future meals or to minister to a family in need.

With customer appreciation day in full-swing, our family will enjoy this affordable dinner solution this weekend. Thank you, Papa Murphy’s!
