Morrisons is giving out a free doughnut when customers buy a refillable hot drink from an in-store cafe.
The hot drink selection includes tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
It's available in "the majority" of Morrisons cafes, but be warned, the deal ends on Sunday, April 27.
One person said: "Our Morrisons cafe in Gorse Covert Loughborough is brilliant and always friendly and clean."
Followed by a second: "Got mine today in Perth…took it home, heated it and had it with custard ."
"I'll be in today," said another.
It comes as Morrisons announced its decision to shut 54 cafes and 17 stores.
Morrisons said they are "not taking the decision lightly" as 365 staff members are plunged into potential redundancy.
The news also sparked fears the Kids Eat Free and Free Fruit initiatives could also be scrapped, but Morrisons has now confirmed that this will not be the case.
A spokesperson told The Sun: "The Kids Eat Free offer in partnership with Birds Eye remains as does the free fruit for kids."
At all Morrisons cafes, children under the age of 16 can get a free kids meal, if their parent of guardian purchases an adult meal priced at £4.50 or over.
Children are entitled to one free meal per adult meal purchased, and the meals include a piece of fruit and a bottle of juice or water.
The supermarket also hands out free fruit to children within its stores, that is at risk of not being sold before its best before date.
The offer is available every day, and aims to reduce food waste, whilst helping kids to reach their five a day.
Mass Closures
As well as the 52 cafes and 17 Morrisons Daily stores currently closing, a total of 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies will also close their doors.
Not only will this disappoint many customers, it also means that 365 workers are at risk of redundancy.
Rami Baitiéh, chief executive of Morrisons revealed that the closures, announced today, are to "reinvigorate" the company, and allow money to be invested in other areas.
He added: "In most locations the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option.
'Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it.
"But as we modernise we are making some necessary changes to the areas of the model which are simply uneconomic.
"In some stores where we are closing counters or Cafés, we plan to work with third parties to provide a relevant specialist offer.
'Although these changes are relatively small in the context of the overall scale of the Morrisons business, we do not take lightly the disruption and uncertainty they will cause to some of our colleagues.
"We will of course take particular care to look after all of them well through the coming changes."

Cadbury fans ‘disgusted' as chocolate pack shrinks
The product in question is the Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks which are now being sold as packs of four instead of packs of six. A pack of four chocolate bars costs £1.40 on Tesco's website despite a pack of six of the same chocolate bar costing the same price last month, reports The Sun. Taking to the review section on the Tesco website, one customer said: 'Advertised as new, only thing new is you get 4 instead of 6!! For the same price. Disgusting!' Another commented: 'Stop reducing how much is in the packet and charging the same price!!!' A third noticed the difference in pack size: 'Taken 2 bars out. STILL SAME PRICE. Were 6 now 4. Disgraceful.' Someone else shared: 'Was a six pack now a four pack for the same price, a third less chocolate, unacceptable shrinkflation'. The Sun explained that another pack of Cadbury chocolate bars – Freddos – had reduced from five bars to four as well as Cadbury Dairy Milk multipacks which went from nine bars to seven. The Liberal Democrats want government legislation amended to legally require large supermarkets to inform shoppers when the quantity of goods within a pre-packaged product has decreased thereby increasing the price per unit of measurement. Details of the changes would need to be attached or placed alongside the product for a 60-day period, according to the amendment tabled to the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill. Supermarkets would be forced to tell their customers if they want them to 'pay more for less' under the proposals designed to tackle 'shrinkflation'. Digestive biscuits, butter, crisps and chocolate bars were among the items found to have decreased in size while their unit cost increased, according to 2024 research by Compare the Market. Cadbury told The Sun: 'We understand the economic pressures that consumers continue to face and any changes to our product sizes is a last resort for our business. Recommended reading: Cadbury shrinks size of Freddo chocolates while prices remain the same Cadbury to release new chocolate bar shoppers say is like discontinued favourite 'Best ever' discontinued Cadbury chocolate fans have 'waited for' spotted at B&M 'However, as a food producer, we are continuing to experience significantly higher input costs across our supply chain, with ingredients such as cocoa and dairy, which are widely used in our products, costing far more than they have done previously. 'Meanwhile, other costs like energy and transport, also remain high. This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges. 'As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.' Newsquest has approached Cadbury for comment.
