Best fiver I spent recently 🙂

Urmstongran I like the way you read it, I shall use that when describing other meat products.

We have a petrol station within walking distance ( mobility scooter for me) which has an Asda store attached in which there is a Greggs concession.
My GD and I sometimes walk along and get a hot sausage roll and Costa coffee , also a concession, and take it to the local park to eat.
Last time we went it was 4 for the price of 3.
I don't know how much it costs though.

Witzend if you download the Greggs app you can sometimes get a free drink. They have a certain amount each day and it’s first come first served. At weekends the offer is a free breakfast sandwich. I only know all this as DH has the app. They have a branch one one of the retail parks we often use where the only other option is a very busy Costa.

Well said georgesgran!

Greggs fan but proud Geordie! Yes with an expanding waistline!

Ooh apologies Theexwife! I read that incorrectly. Which is why it made me laugh … I thought you’d said “the sausage rolls are very good even if you are a meat eater” !

Greggs vegan sausage rolls are very good, worth a try even if you are a meat eater.

🤣

I only went to a Greggs once. They have those vacuum jugs on the side full of milk for your coffee. I struggled to work out how to use it and unscrewed the lid to find the whole seal covered in a thick layer of smelly, congealed milk.

I took a photo on my phone and contacted environmental Health who went out a day or two later, found the jug still in the same congealed mess and told the staff they must clean their jugs thoroughly in future and he would be doing spot checks.

Greggs, of course, is a great Tyneside Company. Founded over 80 years ago, the original shop on Gosforth High Street is still going strong. Greggs have nearly 2500 shops and employ 32,000 colleagues. They provide breakfast for primary school children to the tune of £8M a year and through the annual Children Run have raised £40M towards care and research into children’s’ cancers.
I think there are 32 shops in Newcastle, but more in Glasgow.
By the way, I don’t work there, although their Factory is near DD2’s office - she says the smells are very distracting!

When I fly over from my home here in Canada (where I have yet to find a good sausage roll) to see my sister in Edinburgh, the first thing I do is treat myself to a Greggs sausage roll, so good😋

Greggs vegan sausage rolls are very good, worth a try even if you are a meat eater.

We have one in the square below us! Actually I’m not a fan.
😮 but I think I’m in the minority!

I can see your waistline expanding! 😁
