Greggs fans fume at sausage roll prices with some saying it's 'goes up weekly'
People are up in arms over the soaring prices of Greggs' sausage rolls, sparking a heated debate on Reddit.
The conversation kicked off when a user uploaded an image of the iconic snack, showing a price tag of £1.45 for takeaway or £1.75 to eat in, accompanied by the caption: "I swear it increases weekly." Loyal Greggs fans have been looking back wistfully at times when a handful of sausage rolls could be had for around a pound, with some drawing parallels to the inflation of Freddos another childhood favourite that has seen its price climb.
One commenter reminisced: "I remember when you could get four for a quid." Another remarked: "I swear not long ago it was 1.05."

A third shared their personal observation: "When I started college in 2020 it was a quid. After two years it went up to £1.20. Seeing it progressively go up by 5p was quite the experience."
Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in with: "What's worse is that despite it being called/named 'sausage roll' they ask you if you mean 'pork sausage roll' now due to vegans getting upset they might get the wrong roll. The latter is called a vegan sausage."

Reflecting on the "good old days", consumers recalled getting more for their money in the past. They also listed other products that have been getting increasingly expensive, WalesOnline reports.
One social media commentator noted: "It was 25p for a First Class Stamp, the mini cans of Coke were in the pick n mix bit of Woolworths and a 99 Flake was 99p."
Another reminisced: "I grew up watching the Fudge bars go from 10p then 15p then 20p then 25p now 30p and whatever it is now."
Meanwhile, one more added: "64p for a chicken bake in 2003. 3 sausage rolls for £1.10. 74p for a steak bake. I think I will remember this information long after I've forgotten my own name."
Greggs has been approached for comment.
