To think that Greggs is extremely reasonably priced

.. for what it actually sells ?

I my local Greggs last week and there are delicious ready made pizza slices for £2.30 -
large cooked steak pie for under £2

sausage rolls for around £1.20

also the app is very good I think -it breaks down all their foodstuffs individually and you have a free item for every 9th one bought

Come on - to have tasty ready cooked food for these sort of prices - it’s pretty good isn’t it ?

It’s the Gregggggg Wallace connection. And sorry to put you off your steak bake with the thought of that disgusting misogynist!

I definitely missed the reference 🤣

I don’t watch cooking programmes - might that be the explanation? 🤣

Greggs is cheap for a reason, OP. It is, of course, absolutely fine though, unless you are eating every meal, every day from them!

Depends what you're comparing it to. We've got a chain in the north east ( was locally owned but recently bought out by Asda) that sells sausage rolls at 4 for £1.25, so compared to that Greggs is extortionate and the local one doesn't do very well. We have a second local bakery with several shops that also are cheaper than greggs.

I'm just very disappointed they don't sell anything with a beautiful buttery biscuit base personally.

I tried Greggs for the first time last year and was underwhelmed. The steak bake and sausage roll was really disappointing. A Cornish pasty from a local bakery is more expensive but nicer!

Yes agree that bakes - and definitely things like cheese rolls from local bakeries are often nicer

Can’t beat a sausage roll from there.
