Y'all, I love some Krispy Kreme doughnuts.  Those delicate morsels literally melt in your mouth.  And, as much as we dread tax day Krispy Kreme wants to give you a "sweet tax break" to ease the pain.  So, what exactly does the sweet tax break from Krispy Kreme entitle guests to?

Well, when you visit Krispy Kreme on Tuesday, April 18 this tax year you get to pay only sales tax on an original glazed dozen when you buy another dozen at regular price.  And, according to their website if you place your order online get the second glazed dozen free when you order another dozen at regular price.  Remember to use the promo code TAXBREAK.

Of course, make sure you check your favorite Krispy Kreme to confirm their participation in the sweet tax break deal.  Also, they point out that pricing varies from state to state based on sales tax rates.  And, restrictions apply.  Find participating shops in North and South Carolina online and see purchase limits, too.

And, I think we can all agree it's impossible to be too unhappy when you have a box of warm Krispy Kreme doughnuts close by.  I remember last time we were at the beach with our friends, the "hot now" sign called to us on the way home from a concert.  Late night Krispy Kremes totally rock.  So, lessen the pain of tax day this year with a visit to Krispy Kreme for the "sweet tax break" promotion.
