Don’t miss these spooky Krispy Kreme deals—here’s how you can score sweet Halloween treats!

Halloween might be about tricks and treats, but Krispy Kreme's latest promotion is all treats and no tricks. The beloved donut chain is offering substantial savings for two weekends only, which could satisfy your sweet tooth cravings without breaking the bank.

Krispy Kreme's “Scary Sharies” promotion lets you snag a dozen Original Glazed donuts for just $2 when you buy any dozen at regular price. A dozen Original Glazed normally costs $14.99, which means you're getting 24 donuts for under $17—that's about 71 cents per donut compared to the usual $1.99 each.

To put this in perspective, you're saving more than $12 on that second dozen. For anyone watching their budget or planning to bring treats to a gathering, this represents exceptional value.

The “Scary Sharies” deal breakdown

The promotion runs during two specific weekend periods: October 17-19 and October 24-26. The deal works in-shop, at the drive-thru, or through their app for pickup and delivery. Just say “Scary Good” when ordering in person, or use the code “SCARYGOOD” online. There's a limit of one deal per customer, so you can't stock up beyond those two dozen.

Senior-friendly ordering tips

If you prefer avoiding weekend crowds, consider ordering early Friday or later Sunday for the quietest experience. The Krispy Kreme app offers the convenience of ordering ahead for pickup, which eliminates waiting in line. Krispy Kreme revamped its rewards program in April 2024, and now you earn 12 points for every $1 you spend, making it worthwhile to create an account if you plan to visit regularly.

For those who prefer human interaction over apps, the in-store experience remains straightforward—just mention “Scary Good” when placing your order.

Free donuts for costume wearers

Beyond the weekend deals, Krispy Kreme is offering free Original Glazed or Classic Ring donuts to anyone who shows up in costume on Saturday, October 25, and Thursday, October 31. No purchase necessary—just wear a costume and walk out with a free treat.

This creates an opportunity to combine deals if you're strategic. Visit in costume on October 25 for your free donut, then use the “Scary Sharies” deal on the same visit to stock up for the week ahead.

The Halloween specialty collection

Krispy Kreme's “Trick or Treat” collection features four new themed donuts, each with elaborate toppings and fillings:

• The Candy Bag Donut: An Original Glazed Doughnut topped with chocolate buttercream and caramel swirl, featuring a vibrant trick-or-treat candy blend
• Cookies and Skreme House Doughnut: A shell doughnut filled with Cookies & Kreme filling, topped with silver chocolate cookies and a Haunted House piece
• Jack-O-Lantern Doughnut: A shell doughnut with orange buttercreme, adorned with Jack-O-Lantern face pieces and green icing stem
• Spooky Sprinkle Doughnut: An Original Glazed transformed with green icing and ghostly Halloween sprinkles

Making your donuts last

Twenty-four donuts might seem like overkill for a smaller household, but proper storage extends their life significantly. Original Glazed donuts stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature in their box, and they freeze well for up to three months.

Consider splitting your haul with neighbors, bringing them to community gatherings, or freezing half for later. Individual donuts thaw quickly at room temperature or can be warmed briefly in the microwave.

Timing your visit

The “Hot Now” sign at Krispy Kreme indicates when fresh donuts are coming off the line. While you can't predict exactly when this happens, early morning and late afternoon tend to be prime times for fresh batches. Getting donuts straight from the conveyor belt—even with this promotion pricing—feels like winning the lottery.
