[Greggs sales jump as customers
turn to cheaper meals
The bakery chain Greggs has seen
sales jump in the first half of the year
as more people across the UK turn
to value meals.
Sales leapt by 27.1% in the 26 weeks
to 2 July to a total of £694.5 million,
compared with £546.2 million a year earlier.
But half-year profits remained
largely flat year on year at £55.8m
compared with £55.5m last year,
due to the reintroduction of business rates,
an increase in VAT and higher levels
of cost inflation.

With soaring inflation putting
a strain on people's incomes,
consumers are more likely to turn
to lower-cost food and drink while
on the go, Greggs said.]

People needing to rely on sickly, greasy, and fatty foods is a failure of government.

Adding a salad to greasy calories doesn't make it any healthier

I've been making more of my own grub. Greggs too expensive. I can get 15 buns at a cheap shop for £1, and some cheap sausages 8 for £1. Ketchup is 45p at the cheapo shop. Butter 75p. That makes a lot of yummy sandwiches.
