The iconic pastry has shot up by a staggering 30% since 2022, when it was priced at just £1. The increase was spotted at Shields Road branch in Newcastle. 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.". Prices do vary based on your location, with some Greggs branches charging up to £1.40 for the popular snack.
