I had no idea that National Donut Day (or National Doughnut Day) has been a thing for 80 years!!!
According to Wikipedia, National Doughnut Day started in 1938[1] as a fund raiser for Chicago's The Salvation Army. Their goal was to help those in need during the Great Depression, and to honor The Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers.
Interesting, huh?
Enough with the history lesson.
Here are some places offering a free doughnut for National Doughnut Day:
Edible Arrangements is celebrating by offering a free edible donut (donut shaped apple)
Stop in to an Edible store and receive one (1) free Edible® Donut (retail value of $4 before tax and applicable fees)! Offer valid in-store only on 6/1/18 until close of business at participating locations, while supplies last. Limit one free Edible® Donut per customer. No purchase necessary. Flavors / Toppings may vary by store. Cannot be combined with any other offers.
Lifeway Christian Stores is offering a free donut and cup of Kingdom Growers coffee (while supplies last). Find your closest store here: http://lfwy.co/3dsM50huG45
Dunkin Donuts is offering a FREE classic Donut with the purchase of any beverage on Friday June 1st, 2018!
Krispy Kreme is celebrating with a free donut. No purchase required!
And according to many media outlets Walmart Stores will also offer a free glazed donut on National Donut Day!

Fun, frugal things to do and family-friendly deals in Montgomery, Prattville, Wetumpka and the entire river region.

Get Free Products to Try With Influenster
I think I may be a few years behind on this but I recently found out about Influenster and wanted to share with my friends.
You can sign up for Influenster for free. You connect your social media accounts, complete short surveys (called Snaps), and review products. Based on how "influential" you are, you can get free boxes of products (called VoxBoxes) to try. Of course, the companies want you to try the products and then review them, post about them on social media, and share about them with (or "influence") your friends. I really would be doing that anyway if I found a new product and thought my friends would like to know about it.
After you try a product, you can even win more products by completing more activities related to the products you tried. And of course, the more you review or post or the more activities you complete on Influenster or on the app, I'm sure it increases you chances of getting another VoxBox.
I got my first VoxBox within a month of signing up and haven't finished reviewing all the products in it yet but have been enjoying trying all the new products!
I hope I get to try another box soon.
