    Mouth watering? Pffft!!!

    • My mouth's watering…

        I'm hoping you've seen a doctor recently:p

    I love KKs but the fact that the nearest store to me is in the bloody Brisbane airport is a major turn off.

    • +2

      Nah, that's a bonus for me - it's the nearest to me too, but a 4 hr drive.

  • +8

    • Narre Warren - Foutain Gate is the closest to me, but even then, it's far.

    • Gez, these stores really died out in Australia didn't they? There used to be one at Chaddy and one out near Burwood, they obviously shut down though?

      • if i recall its expensive. for 2 coffees and a couple of donuts the last time it cost me time over $20+ bux.

        • if only they can make it cheaper, else why bother with such expensive Doughnuts?

  • The catch is only for a dozen of "Original Flavored Doughnuts" Wish it could be a mixed dozen :)

  • +7

    They need to make these vouchers work in 7-11. Having to visit KK's own stores is a deal-breaker.

    • Can ya get em at all 7 11 ?

      • Dw found out :)

    These will give you a heart attack

    • +2

      Really? Just one box or the whole four?

      • +12

        After eating a dozen in an hour and not having a heart attack, I can confirm that bryans is incorrect. He obviously wants the sugary goodness for himself.

        • The heart-attack (causing one-sided paralyses and slurred speech) comes much later, when you least expect it.

        • +2

          I once ate a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and a large shake in about 20 minutes.

          I did have a heart attack.

    KK donuts are so overrated especially the original glaze.

    • +2

      I would have to say they "were" overrated but think they have come crashing down back to earth.
      I remember driving through Sydney years ago and seeing this huge line up of a few hundred meters. I thought it was a que to get into a footy stadium but as we drove past it was an opening for a KK store.
      I have had a couple over the years but only really like the plain glazed ones. Even then there is only so many of these things I can eat.
      They are way over priced in my eyes but at $8 a box, I got one.

      • I eat it every one, or couple of years…only when I wanted lots of sugary goodness!!:-P
        hope they manage to survive for customer like me

    • Care to name a better doughnut (other than cinnamon, which KK don't produce)?

      • -1

        Dreamy Donuts are better (although Krispy Kreme is still great as well).

  • yep, no stores near me, either

  • Mmmmm Death by sugar

  • +11

    Im still in a kk line as we speak. Been here scince 2006

  • These are sooo good but so bad for you

  • +1

    If there was a calories/$ ozbargain competition then i think the 7-11 kit kat for free comes first, Hungry Jacks $2 deal 2nd then this in third…

    Would be a decent calorie crawl to go 7-11, hungry jacks then a dozen KK donuts…
    ;)

  • Ever since they closed all the stores in shopping centres, its been too inconvenient to get to. In Melbourne anyway.

    Fountain gate is too far and the city is inconvenient to get to just for donuts. If it weren't so hard and validity date not so tight, i would definitely get a few as i used to get a dozen original glazed and another mixed from chaddy all the time when it was still open

    • wow they closed the one in chaddy D=

    Yummy, but better check your cholesterol afterwards.

    • +1

      More relevant would be blood glucose level.

  • So good, love Krispy Kreme

    Dreamy donuts > KK

  • I'm pretty sure KK are in receivership at the moment. Be careful.

    • +21

      Staff might steal all the doughnuts before they open?

      • i was thinking they stop honouring vouchers.

  • we heard ya the first time. Donuts yum.

  • original, boring.
    those hot cross buns they're doing look nice though..

  • +1. Just bought 2 dozens. Cheers OP.

  • Donuts give you cancer.

    • No, donuts (temporarily) relieve cancer.

      • brainwashed….feed them to rats for a year and see how they are.

        • +8

          You don't live up to your name :(

    • if that's the case, then so does cake and muffins.. and all that other stuff..

  • +2

    After lining up at the Knox Krispy Kreme (KKK) store overnight for 15.5 hours and winning a year's supply of doughnuts for being the first customer back in 2006, I've only been back two or three times since then, because I got so used to not paying for doughnuts. :)

    Debating now whether I should go back again, as the stores aren't so conveniently located any more, but this is a good price for Krispy Kreme as they were $12.90 for a dozen back in 2006, but gradually increased to $15.95 and have been that price for a while.

    • +1

      wow a years worth, no offense but how many KG's did you gain by 2007? :D

      • Luckily very few. I think I was about 46kg back then, and I'm 48kg now. Quite a few people said how fat I'd be by the end of the year and now people ask how I am not fat! Also, it was a dozen a week, so 52 boxes (624 doughnuts), but I managed to get 53, and still have the last notch left unpunched in my golden ticket, but I doubt that they'll honour it now.

        • +1

          wats wrong with being fat, fat is the next sexy

  • +1

    Probably the most overrated donuts in the world imo. Ive only had them a few times but this deal doesnt seem cheap to me, how much are they normally?

  • +1

    $16 for a box is excessive especially considering people in Australia as a rule don't buy whole boxes of doughnuts, but at $8, I think I'll get a box.
    Then I'll remember why I haven't had any of them for years.

  • man still I prefer a 7/11 Choco jam style donut! even if they are stale compared to KK.

    • 7/11 donuts are now KK donuts, no more mr. donut :(

  • +2

    I will always remember my first piping hot original glaze KK doughnut :)

    • +1

      samples were good while waiting in the queue, tasted great

  • NO stores near me. My local Crispy has been replaced by Hooters!, no actually aporto

    • sounds like u live in campbelltown

  • +1

    ……….i am happy to drive past in any 7- eleven store…and get Krispy Kreme Donuts….

  • Valid until 12 May 2012

    meh.. If it was until next year, I would have bought 10..

  • Just make them yourself at home;

    Wish I could neg this. 12 cinnamon donuts at my local shop are a cheaper and nicer. Hooray for my local shops.

  • Something doesnt look right, 60 votes on OzBargain and only 30 sold on Groupon. Didnt see this deal in Melbourne or Brisbane Groupons, just the Sydney linked deal.

    • The counter is funny, when I went to buy it jumped up to 200 but now it's gone back down to 30..

    • 2543 clicks through, from here alone and only 32 purchased? I don't think so. There's been some publicity about deal sites over selling, so perhaps they're keeping the counter down to make it look good. It's been 7.5 hours since klynvenator spotted the counter at 30 yet it's now on 32. AS IF!

  • The link says 32 but when I go into the site and select goldcoast then all deals and view it I get 102 sales

  • Can I use these with the 'Buy one dozen get another dozen free'?

    Cause my union membership book has a couple of those vouchers.

  • One of the few amusing descriptions I've seen on a group buying site which generally try a little too hard to be funny:

    "While they are now known as sugar-glazed treats, doughnuts were originally devised as life-preservers for sea-faring pixies"

  • +1

    why the have max 4 per person? That is the stupidest thing I see in this deal. Now I have to to the effort of buy in fake names to get 30 boxes.

    Love these donuts, but you but 6 in a sandwitch press to make 1 real donut cuz they are so full of air.

  • can people who say they are bad for you elaborate with scientific facts - as long as you don't eat the whole box (or even half a box) in a day nothing is going to happen.

    it really bothers me when people only eat salads, fruits and nuts and moan that mcdonalds and what not is bad for you… especially people who say KFC makes them sick… KFC easily has the best chicken burger of all the fast foods and the nutrition information they provide seems quite reasonable.

    • Depends what you mean by "bad for you".

      If you find yourself near a book shop at some point in the near future, look for the book "Why We Get Fat" by Taubes. He collects many different studies together on different nutrients in food, and basically concludes through this extensive literature review that Carbohydrates are the common link between most of the different studies - one study in fact had a group of 300 people; where 150 of them ate no carbs per day, and ate pure/raw lard for a high fats intake value, 50 ate high carb and low fat and the last 100 were the control eating a "healthy" diet as given by a nutritionist.

      The ones that ate no carbs per day with high fats intake had lost the most, and had the best comparative bloodwork (high HDL and low LDL cholesterol) by the end of the study.

      All I'm concluding from this is that these donuts are very high in carbohydrates, and are contributing to obesity - which these days is considered "bad for you."

      Look into the "keto" diet; where you have a low carbohydrate diet with high fats and protein intake. Your body adjusts from using carbs for it's energy source to using fats as it's energy source. Very interesting stuff.

      • +2

        I can only say that is one example from one book you are quoting here. Anyone who has studied the subject would say that it is clearly not carbs alone that is the primary cause of obesity (apart from most of those people either have a condition or are plain LAZY). I suggest people read up on the benefits of omitting wheat and sugar from your diet.

        Myself and my partner have been following the book/diet by Timothy Ferris called "the 4 hour body", plus books such as "wheat belly" & "sweet poison". In the first three months I increased my protein and carb intake three fold, and lost 4% body fat. All basically because we cut out processed foods, sugar and gluten (wheat). This diet still included our once a week 'blowout', which we were allowed to consume anything we had been craving during the week. After a while though you stop craving what people would call your 'everyday' food i.e. bread, oily/greasy food and foods high in sugar, as it makes you feel awful!

        Anyway, I guess there are many studies out there which defines what is actually "bad for you". I myself am a firm believer that sugar is more of a contributing factor to obesity than carbs/fat, and changing how your body processes these things is not entirely beneficial.

        /end rant

    • can people who say they are bad for you elaborate with scientific facts - as long as you don't eat the whole box (or even half a box) in a day nothing is going to happen.

      Well, obviously it's junk food, so it should be eaten in moderation… but like you said, you already know that. And really, I think everybody here knows that, so I don't really know why every time there's a junk food deal posted, we still get comments like "These will give you a heart attack".

  • Got mine for FREE! Selected Paypal as the payment option, then discovered Paypal had come good today with the promised $20 bonus for linking a bank account (from their promo a couple of months ago.) I was good though and still just got the one pack.

    This is like 2000 KJ'S per donut. No thanks, i'd rather not develop diabetes…..

    • Not even close.

      • +1

        its about 200 calories. ie approx 800 kj.

        I read somewhere Donut King ones have 230 calories.
        A large maccas fries is about 450calories

        The problem with KK donuts is its hard to stop at one

    • someones trying to lose weight lol
