'It's ridiculous' Readers react as Greggs hikes prices of sausage rolls by 5p

Just yesterday, we reported how the nation's favourite bakery firm had devastated its fans with the news it had increased its beloved sausage rolls by 5p.

The popular bakery chain's iconic pastry was already increased to £1.10 back in January this year, but now costs £1.15, reported The Mirror.

Greggs said it is hiked its prices following soaring inflation rates and a rise in the costs of energy, ingredients and packaging.

The company tweeted: "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."

Taking to Twitter to slam the latest increase, with one saying that "this has to stop", while another fumed that they "nearly cried" when seeing the price.

The new price of our beloved sausage rolls certainly went down like a lead balloon with fans on Twitter and it looks like many of our readers agree with the outrage.

A few commented that the price increase is "ridiculous" and many even began commenting that their beloved sausage rolls are not the only item to have risen lately.

One said: "Ridiculous! I can remember getting 2 for a £ !!!!"

One reader even said that they no longer shop there due to price hikes: "I gave up with Greggs in 2021. Too expensive."

A third added: "£2.15 for a cheese and onion bake. Won't be back! Raging."

A fourth said: "There cups of tea have also gone up from £1.00 to £1.05 and £1.15 to present day haven't a clue as won't buy anymore. I've got the same wages but everything increasing, how can they expect you to pay increasing prices."

A fifth jokingly asked: "Does the price hike guarantee them to be hot instead of being as cold as the freezer bought ones??"

Finally, a sixth added that they have been purchasing Greggs frozen sausage rolls from Iceland as it works out cheaper since the prices had increased.
