People have taken to social media to share their anger over the rising price of the popular Greggs sausage rolls as they claim it “increases every week”
Brits are up in arms over the soaring cost of Greggs’ sausage rolls, with many claiming the price “increases every week”.
On Reddit, food enthusiasts have been venting their frustration after a user posted a photo of the beloved pastry priced at £1.45 for takeaway or £1.75 to dine in. It was sarcastically captioned: “I swear it increases weekly.”
Nostalgic Greggs fans have since been reminiscing about the days when you could snag several sausage rolls for roughly a pound, with one person even comparing the hikes to those of Freddos – another snack that’s seen its price jump in recent times.
Looking back on what they refer to as the “good old days”, consumers recall getting much more for their money. Today, it seems the cost of popular eats is climbing, and punters aren’t too pleased about it.

One person said: “I remember when you could get four for a quid.” Another was confused, writing: “I swear not long ago it was £1.05.”
A third replied: “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 commented: “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.”
The conversation quickly turned to how other beloved snacks have also undergone price transformations over the years, indicating it’s not just Greggs customers feeling the pinch.
One social media commentator noted: “And 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 added their two cents, saying: “I grew up watching the Fudge bars go from 10p then 15p then 20p then 25p now 30p and whatever it is now.”
One more chimed in with a detailed recollection, adding: “64p for a chicken bake in 2003. Three 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 to comment regarding the alleged price hikes.
