    Krispy Kreme Cuts the Cost of a Dozen Donuts This Month to Match the Average Gas Pric

    Increased gas prices might be giving you a headache but Krispy Kreme is giving fans something to smile about.
    On Wednesdays from April 13 through May 4, Krispy Kreme will drop the price of a dozen original glazed donuts to match the U.S. national average cost for a gallon of regular gasoline.
    Krispy Kreme will set the price for the dozen each Wednesday but it will be based on the national average price of a gallon on Monday of that week. They'll announce the amount on their social channels as well as their website.
    Today's cost for a dozen donuts is $4.11, meanwhile, the typical cost of a dozen original glazed donuts can reach up to about $20 depending on the store location.

    "While Americans deal with the rising PPG – price per gallon – of gasoline, we're lowering our PPOG – price per original glaze," Krispy Kreme Chief Marketing Officer Dave Skena said in a press release. "Inflation and high gasoline prices are serious and forcing families to make tough tradeoffs."

    "We know that despite the high gas prices people have to be out and about anyway. So, for the next several Wednesdays, we hope providing a little doughnut deflation will allow them to share some smiles during a difficult time. A dozen original glazed donuts for the price of a gallon of gas will help our fans make midweek a little sweeter for their friends and family," added Skena.

                      Nothing to elaborate on when it's pointless.

                      Helps nothing. Solves nothing. Meaningless. Pointless.

                      Distraction for the idiots.

                          20 bucks for a box of donuts. That's insane.

                            Exactly. Businesses will start suffering soon enough.

                              They just highlighted that it normally costs 20 bucks for a box of donuts. What???? I would have guessed like 5 or 6. Unreal.

                                Just looked up DD. 10 bucks. How can KK get away with charging double? Is it really that much better? I honestly have no clue, don't eat donuts.

                                  I guess they said "up to" 20 bucks depending on location. Maybe it's 20 bucks in the highest priced markets like Manhattan. My guess would have been 75 cents/donut this day in age sounds reasonable.

                                      Those right out of the fryer are seagull killers. Toss one out and they choke it down...instant regret as they try to puke it up. Only know this as a buddy bit into an out if the fryer chicken nugget and spit it out. Gull swooped in, grabbed the nugget...and down he came in seconds. Boiled the fukers guts.

                                          Great. These are part of the reason why so many adults died during Covid.

                                                After the sale they will be $20 per donut so a box will be $240. But coffee will go down to $200 then.

                                                    Helps nothing. Solves nothing. Meaningless. Pointless.

                                                    Distraction for the idiots.
                                                    If you get a dozen donuts anyway every Wed to bring to work you can put the money you save on them on gas. That helps and is not meaningless.

                                                                If their donuts don't kill you, their stock will. KKD went public about 20 years ago and was bankrupt within 5 years.

                                                                Regrouped a few years ago but with stunts like this, it won't be long before they are killing shareholders along with consumers once again.

                                                                I will have to admit that it's tough to beat a Krispy Kreme when it's fresh out of the oven.
