Greggs put up price of sausage rolls due to inflation - and fans are not happy

Greggs has increased the price of its sausage rolls by 5p due to inflation, it has been reported.

Sausage rolls at the Newcastle-based bakery now cost £1.15 in most stores, up from £1.10. And the change in price has left customers disappointed.

On Twitter, one Greggs fan said: "How can Greggs put the sausage roll prices up from £1.10 to £1.15? I’m actually tired." Another customer said: "You know the world is f***** when Greggs put the prices up sneakily 5p on a breakfast. I nearly cried."

Greggs said in a Tweet: "Like many other retailers, we're having to manage the pressure of rising prices across our supply chain. We've had to make some small price increases across our range."

Greggs has been approached for comment. The much-loved bakery put up its prices by 5p to 10p in January this year, with a sausage roll going up from £1 to £1.05, reports The Mirror.

Then in August Greggs warned that its prices would probably have to go up again - by 9%. Greggs also confirmed plans to extend opening hours and offer more delivery across its stores this year.

At the time, Greggs said the cost of its ingredients, packaging and energy bills had all risen - but said it had "worked hard" to keep prices as low as possible to customers.
