Let's be honest, we all love a Greggs. And what's better than heading to the bakery chain for a freshly baked sausage roll? Getting your hands on one at a hugely discounted rate.
That's what the Greggs outlet shop is for, and that's exactly where one woman and her friend headed in a recent viral video they shared on social media.
Melika Zaidi, 27, visited one of the UK's 30 outlet shops that sell day-old Greggs products for half price or less, and she was blown away by the huge deals she managed to find - including some bits she could re-heat in her air fryer.
The Greggs outlet shops were originally opened to reduce food waste by offering unsold items, as well as supporting socially deprived communities with affordable food choices.
Food sent to the stores includes misshapen items, products that the full-price shops have been unable to sell, and excess stock from Greggs factories.
And when Melika and her friend visited one of the outlets, they couldn't believe how much was on offer.
In a video posted to her @melika_zaidi account on TikTok, Melika filmed herself arriving at the Greggs outlet and taking a look at the slices available in the pie section, including some corned beef ones in a pack of two.
While over at the sweet section, Melika exclaimed: "Oh my god, there's so many doughnuts."
The woman and her friend then went to look at the sandwiches, and came up with a genius plan when they laid their eyes on one baguette in particular.
Melika's friend said: "Ham and cheese baguette, oh my god we could air fry it."
As they approached the till, they also made sure to grab some "caramel cut-offs", before Melika's friend added: "I'm really happy. I'm so pumped up with my purchases."
Melika later confirmed that the pair's huge haul cost them just £4, and commenters on the video were quick to heap praise on the outlet shops.
One person wrote: "There's one round the corner from me, I love it!"
While another added: "Oh my god, where is this magical place? I've never heard of it before."
Meanwhile, Mirror reporter Danni Scott visited the Greggs outlet in London back in December to try and bag a bargain for her lunch - but was left disappointed with the selection of treats on offer.
Although she found baguettes priced at just £1.05 and toasties for £1.35, she said the majority of items on offer were cold festive bakes that she didn't particularly fancy for her lunch.
However, Danni praised the selection of sweet treats, which included boxes of doughnuts for just 55p.
