Greggs hikes price of sausage rolls again as customers say 'it's disgraceful'

Greggs has hiked the price of its sausage roll again - and customers aren’t impressed. The bakery chain has increased the price of its most popular menu item by 5p, to £1.30. It marks the second time in six months that Greggs has upped the price of its sausage roll, after it rose from £1.25 from £1.20 last year. The increase was spotted at its Shields Road branch in Newcastle - however, it’s worth noting that prices do vary based on your location, with some Greggs branches charging up to £1.40 for a sausage roll.
Linda Johnson, 74, a retired quality control inspector, said: "It's now £3.90 for four sausage rolls. I wouldn't pay that - I would tell them to stick it. A sausage roll used to be £1, now it's £1.30. I know everyone is watching their pennies but the whole point of Greggs is that it's cheap and cheerful.
“I usually hand over the correct change but when I went to pay I was told that the prices had gone up. I bought a coffee which is up from £1.60 to £1.70. It's still cheaper than supermarket coffee or other big brands so I will still go there.". Heather Hife, 62, a carer, added: "It's disgraceful that they have raised their prices. They are a big company and are making a lot of profit. They shouldn't be putting them up. The prices already went up before. I will stop buying sausage rolls when they reach £1.50." A Greggs worker said: "It went up just after Christmas. There have been a few complaints from regular customers who have noticed the increase.".
