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.
Hundreds of shoppers have responded to the news on a Facebook post.
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.
Meanwhile a fourth commented: "Cafe closes at the end of April so make the most of the free doughnut."
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."

Historic SPFL club's ex-chief escalates feud with current owners by launching emotional rant for ‘ripping it apart'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Hamilton Accies chief Colin McGowan - who also owns the club's in-limbo stadium - has launched into an astonishing rant calling out people for RIPPING the club apart in recent months. The Lanarkshire side are in crisis at the moment, facing potential expulsion from the SPFL over the stadium saga. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 New Douglas Park - the historic stadium of Hamilton Academical Credit: PA:Press Association 3 Current owner Seref Zengin is taking the club away from the ground over a cash row Credit: Callan Media - Commissioned by The Sun 3 Former club chief Colin McGowan owns New Douglas Park Credit: Keith Campbell - The Sun Glasgow Hamilton are in the process of moving out of New Douglas Park amid a cash row with McGowan, who owns the ground. Accies were relegated from the Championship at the end of last season after being hit with 15-point deduction for several rule breaches, after being found to have not paid players on time earlier this season. Current owner Seref Zengin has been at the helm since 2023 but with the team's fortunes spiralling downward rapidly over the last few months, fans have launches protests against him and other key figures at the club. The latest debacle would see Hamilton relocate to Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld until a solution can be reached on New Douglas Park (if indeed one can be reached). Making matters even more bizarre is that Broadwood's original tenants, Clyde, have been playing AT New Douglas Park since 2022 when they were kicked out of their own stadium. Ex-Accies chief McGowan has likened the row between him and the current ownership to a "bitter divorce" and is only now beginning to accept he is "powerless" in the struggle. He also claimed lies and a lack of communication have further impacted the process. In a post on LinkedIn, McGowan said: "Over the last few months l have had major emotional challenges watching something which l played a big part in building which in my opinion is now being systematically ripped apart bit by bit for no reason that l will ever understand. "If l can try to ignore lies, rumours, deception, confusions, false information, no information, no communication and what resembled desperation l suppose it can be compared to a bitter divorce with one party grabbing their clothes, some furniture and slamming the door behind them with not even a Dear John Letter. "Yet with me personally still feeling desperately disappointed and let down both financially and emotionally l still genuinely hope that everything works out for all concerned. Ally McCoist confesses to 'horrendous' epic fail ahead of final day of Rangers legend's charity bike ride "l am the type of person that has always struggled with situations l am powerless in. "I simply accept we are all fully accountable for the decisions we ourselves make as individuals or as members of corporate boards especially when those decisions effect a whole community."

Morrisons orders head office staff to work full time
Morrisons has ordered staff working in its head office back to their desks five days a week as the supermarket battles to revive its fortunes. The supermarket is understood to have told its employees based at its headquarters in Bradford that they must work a full five-day week after abandoning a policy which allowed staff to work compressed hours. Previously, staff were required to work 37.5 hours over four and a half days under a flexible working week pilot which the supermarket kicked off in 2020. The decision to revert back to five day weeks, which came into force this month, comes as bosses step up a drive to reinvigorate the supermarket as it loses customers to rivals including Aldi. Rami Baitiéh, who took over as Morrisons chief executive in late 2023, has been spearheading a turnaround effort. Last week, the supermarket said sales grew 4.2pc to £3.9bn in the 13 weeks to April 27, versus a year earlier. Mr Baitiéh said the figures showed it had 'bounced back strongly' after cyber issues in November. However, data from Kantar showed Morrisons' share of the grocery market dipped to 8.4pc in May compared to 8.6pc a year earlier. The head office changes are expected to help Morrisons cope with mounting competition from rivals as they step up a price war. Both Asda and Tesco have said they are expecting profits to take a hit this year as they invest heavily on price cuts. A spokesman for Morrisons said the head office changes would improve customer service and make sure its shelves are better stocked in stores. They added: 'In the context of a relentlessly competitive UK grocery market and widespread increased cost pressures, we have taken the difficult decision to ask our head office colleagues to move their working pattern from 4.5 days to a full five day week.' Staff will still be allowed to work both from home and the office during the week, and individuals may be able to work flexibly if they need to do so. It marks the latest shake-up of Morrisons' office working policy. In 2020, the supermarket introduced a four-day working week for head office workers, saying the change would 'make Morrisons a place where more people will want to join and stay'. Under the scheme, head office workers were asked to work on Saturdays once every four weeks. However, last year, Morrisons said it was changing its requirements following complaints from staff over having to work over the weekend. As part of the update, head office staff switched to a four and a half day week and were not asked to work any Saturdays. Morrisons' rivals have also scaled back flexible working policies since the pandemic. Last year, Asda scrapped its pilot after managers said a 44-hour week over four days trial left them exhausted. Domestic & General, a household appliance specialist employing 3,000 people, said it had received similar feedback from staff following a test of a four-day week. However, a four-day working week policy has received support from some in the Government, with Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, previously saying: 'If you can deliver within a four-day working week, then why not?' The Government later said this would not be part of its policy plans. Meanwhile, last year, the UK's first medical trial of a four-day working week suggested that there could be benefits to compressing hours. In the study, conducted by the University of Sussex, the policy was found to make employees happier and healthier. However, the company involved in the trial, Thrive, opted against adopting a four-day week full-time after its business suffered. The study found that the policy created some problems 'at a business level, particularly when it came to providing customer service'.
