#2 At over $14.50 a Dz and $1 off for the 2nd DZ. VS. what use to cost $8.50 2-3 years ago and 2nd DZ $2.50 off. We haven't visited them in over a year, even with the HOT-N-NOW sign flashing at me.

Dating myself here:
1972 - After School Booster club sale.
Paid $2.50 for my 1st dz. Glazed and $1.50 for the added 2nd dz.Glazed.

Had to give the School Bus Driver, 2 Glazed doughnuts, just to bring them on the bus. Needless to say I was very popular sitting in the back of the bus that day. The Glazed Mustache / Smile was shared by a number of young ladies faces for the ride home.

#8 re#7^, Actually, Walmart's profits are being cut by people not having any money to spend.
You tend to be more 'selective' under those rules.

#9 What I mentioned was in the guidance. While Bidetflation is the major part of the problem, the other is real too.

#14 I love K Kreme donuts.

They come as close as anything to the 'melt in your mouth' standard.

#15 If you stay with the basic doughnut, a KK is only 10 grams of sugar. Now, try just eating one. You can do it.
