Krispy Kreme's Pac-Man doughnut collection is now available through June 1.
Krispy Kreme is celebrating Pac-Man's 45th birthday with their new Pac-Man collection that includes three new doughnuts. You can order the collection online, in-app, or in-store through June 1. Each donut is regularly priced $2.69.
NEW Pac-MN Party Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut with yellow icing, topped with sprinkles, and a Pac-Man piece.
NEW Team Ghost Doughnut: An unglazed doughnut filled with chocolate-flavored Kreme, dipped in black icing, decorated with a Pac-Man maze and a Team Ghost maze.
NEW Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut: An unglazed doughnut filled with strawberry-flavored Kreme, with red icing, a green icing leaf, and white sprinkles.
You can purchase this new collection in a 12-count box for $19.99, making them $1.67 each. Note that this box includes four Original Glazed doughnuts.
Want the 3-pack? That's cheaper ($7.49) than buying them individually, but still $2.50 per donut.
Everyday Deal: Save $10.99 when you buy a dozen classic assorted doughnuts.
When there isn't a promotional deal, the best value you'll get at Krispy Kreme is on the Classic assorted dozen. The Classic Sprinkle doughnuts are regularly $2.29 each. Buy a dozen assorted for just $16.49 and save $10.99 or 40% compared to buying them individually. That's like getting four free Krispy Kreme doughnuts when you buy them by the dozen.
The Original Glazed are $1.99 apiece. Buy a dozen for $14.99 and save $8.89 or 37%. Better yet, we often see Krispy Kreme coupons to get a second dozen at a hefty discount when you buy a dozen.

4. Pretty much any time there’s a holiday or special occasion, look out for Krispy Kreme coupons.
Krispy Kreme celebrates major holidays by giving away free doughnuts, like the Krispy Kreme Halloween donuts promotion. Here’s a list of the best deals they’ve done in the past year:
Christmas: $1 for a dozen (regularly $14.99) on the week leading up to Christmas.
Super Bowl Sunday: $13 for two dozen doughnuts (regularly $29.98).
National Doughnut Day (First Friday of June): Everyone got a free doughnut (regularly $1.99).
Fourth of July: BOGO deal on dozens.
5. When the Krispy Kreme BOGO $1 deal happens, jump on it.
One of the best Krispy Kreme promotions ever is their BOGO $1 dozen. That’s right, buy one dozen at regular price, and the second dozen costs just $1.
Since one dozen of Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donuts costs $14.99, your price for two dozen comes out to only $15.99 — a 47% discount.
KCL TIP: Krispy Kreme discounts are random, so the best way to keep up with every Krispy Kreme deal is to check out their Instagram or X (previously Twitter). Or you can keep up with our Krispy Kreme deals, where we’ll give you everyone we can find.
6. Students get Krispy Kreme free donuts for every “A” on their report card.
Students, just show your report card to the cashier and earn up to six Krispy Kreme free donuts. Some Krispy Kreme stores have age restrictions and might not participate, so check your local Krispy Kreme.
7. Dunkin’ Donuts has lower prices — except on doughnut holes.
Who’s cheaper, Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin’ Donuts? Overall, Krispy Kreme is more expensive than Dunkin’. Single doughnuts cost between $1.99 and $2.59 at Krispy Kreme — up to 35% more expensive than Dunkin’s $1.69 Classic doughnuts.
The one item cheaper at Krispy Kreme than Dunkin’? Doughnut holes. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ sell their doughnut holes for $0.28 and $0.36, respectively. To get the best deal, get the 24-count doughnut holes at Krispy Kreme.
8. Don’t have a Krispy Kreme nearby? Walmart sells their doughnuts for about $5 cheaper.
Have you seen the Krispy Kreme displays near the line of registers at Walmart? They straight up don’t taste the same as the just-made doughnuts at Krispy Kreme, but you’ll get a discount of about $5 on a dozen.
You’re not going to be able to use most of these Krispy Kreme savings strategies on your doughnut purchase at Walmart, but we can help you save money at Walmart.
KCL TIP: Check out the snack aisle for even more Krispy Kreme-themed snacks. In the past, Krispy Kreme has collaborated with Smartfood to make Krispy Kreme popcorn, and they’ve also collaborated with Jelly Belly to make donut-flavored jelly beans.
9. Place your first order on DoorDash to get Krispy Kreme delivered free.
Krispy Kreme delivers via DoorDash, Uber Eats, and the Krispy Kreme app. Only DoorDash will give you free delivery on your first order from Krispy Kreme, but you won’t be able to get points toward the reward system — yet.
Here’s what you can expect for delivery fees from each service:
DoorDash: $0.99 delivery fee (after free delivery on first Krispy Kreme order)
Uber Eats: $3.99 delivery fee
Krispy Kreme App: $3.99 delivery fee
Before you order anything from a third-party delivery service, check out our DoorDash tips and Uber Eats tips.
10. Get free Krispy Kreme gift cards from Swagbucks.
Swagbucks is a program that gives you free gift cards — even Krispy Kreme gift cards just for answering surveys and watching videos.
Learn all about how to get freebies with Swagbucks.
11. Buy Krispy Kreme gift cards from CGX (the Gift Card Exchange) to save 23%.
When you buy Krispy Kreme gift cards from GCX.Raise.com (formerly Raise), you’ll pay up to 23% less than the value of the card. I got a couple of $10 gift cards, but I only paid $15.36 each for them. Every little bit helps!
KCL TIP: While you can’t add gift cards to the app, you can still get points toward freebies if you tell the cashier your phone number or email when you purchase your doughnuts.
