They say money can’t buy happiness, but you can use your money to buy paczki and I’ve never seen an unhappy person eating paczki
Dozens of delicious paczki!
Fat Tuesday (or as we Michiganders like to call it - Paczki Day) is coming on March 4, 2025, and paczki are appearing in local grocery stores.
