If you watch the sales, you can provide yourself and your roommates with fresh donuts for not too much in cost.
Need:
Packaged biscuits in the round containers. These are the ones you find in the refrigerated section at the store. You know the ones, you peel off the wrapper, smack it on the counter and it opens to reveal unbaked biscuits! The store brands are usually the best price.
About three cups cooking oil.
Heat the oil but keep a close eye on it. You don't want it smoking or burning. Be careful!
Open up your container of biscuits and lay them out on some paper towel. Using a bottle cap or something small and round, cut holes in the middle of the biscuit. Save the holes! The oil should be hot so carefully place in several of the prepared biscuits and holes. Watch them carefull and when they are golden brown on one side, turn them over and cook the other side. Take them from the hot oil and let them drain on paper towel to remove some of the excess oil.
While the donuts are still warm, you can top them in several different ways.
Spiced icing
1 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg - all or one of them.
Enough apple juice to form an icing.
Chocolate icing
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Enough milk to form an icing.
Cinnamon & Sugar
To ice the donuts, just dip the tops in the prepare icing and then place on a plate
to set up. For the cinnamon and sugar donuts, put the sugar combo in a small bag and gently shake the donuts until covered.

Used this and liked it. Described by my friends as "strange, but not unpleasant, may I have another?"
I used lemon icing on mine, since there wasn't any cocoa in the apartment.
