Greggs has made a major change to sausage roll prices
It is the second time this year that the bakery chain has hiked its prices.
Fans of Greggs are gutted and have taken to social media to complain.
“How can Greggs put sausage rolls prices up from £1.10 to £1.15? I’m actually tired”, one fan said.
Another added: “That’s me finished with Greggs.”
Meanwhile, a third described it as “terrible news”.
Responding to one customer on Twitter, Greggs said: “Like many retailers, we’re having to manage the pressure of rising prices across our supply chain.
“We’ve had to make some small prices increases across our range.”
The bakery chain says it is committed to keeping the prices of its other promotions the same, such as breakfast meal at £3.50 and an americano at £1.95.
It comes after Greggs revealed that sales jumped by 15% over the past three months.
At the beginning of the year, Greggs announced that customers will see 5p or 10p increases on some of its items, including sausage rolls.
The price of the popular pastries and their vegan counterparts rose from £1 to £1.05.
In May, the chain warned customers that prices could go up again this year because of inflation.
This means that the price of a sausage rolls has risen by 10p since the beginning of this year.
The bakery chain’s boss said that its low-cost food and meal deal options were more important during a time when many households are struggling with significant cost of living pressures.
The group has driven forward its expansion plans and is set to have opened 150 new stores for the year as a whole.
This includes two “drive through” shops in Amesbury and Durham.
In September it commissioned an automated pizza manufacturing line at its site in Enfield.
