IF you love Greggs and want to get your hands on the iconic sweet treats and savoury goodies for less, then you’ve come to the right place.
L.A. Cartier, a singer, writer and musician, was left stunned when she went to a Greggs outlet.
The food fan was left gobsmacked at the prices and claimed that shoppers must visit if they want to nab tasty bargains.
The woman visited an outlet store in London and shared that not only were selected items buy one get one free, but because she visited at the end of the day, everything was then buy one get two free.
Greggs outlets stock some of the chain’s most popular items including the much-loved sausage roll – but the prices are up to 75% cheaper.
It means you can get a four-pack of sausage rolls for £1.85, instead of £4.35, which works out at just 46p per sausage roll.
The Outlet shops sell food which hasn’t been sold elsewhere, so it’s nearing its expiring date.
It aims to help the chain tackle food waste and help those living in disadvantaged areas to buy food at a huge discount.
Sharing her thoughts on the discounted store on social media, the Greggs superfan wrote: “Get yourself down to your nearest Greggs Outlet! Trust me, it’s a bargain!”
The content creator then said: “I bought out the shop – yum yums were in boxes of two, 65p.
“There were big boxes of doughnuts as well, ring doughnuts were £1.55, everything was on buy one get one free.
“And then the woman was like ‘because it’s the end of the day, it’s buy one get two free’, so I started picking up everything.”
Not only did the foodie nab doughnuts and yum yums, but she also stocked up on loaves of bread too.
In total, the bargain hunter’s haul cost just £6.23 – yes, you heard that correctly.
AT the moment, the chain operates Outlets in the following locations:
Thrilled with her huge savings, the woman held up her large shopping bags and beamed: “I felt as if I had come from Westfield and bought out Zara – come on guys, you cannot even get bread, milk and cheese for £6.23 in this life that we live in right now, so yeah, if you can get yourself down to a Greggs outlet, then try and find one and thank me later.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @lacartierofficial, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up more than 32,000 views.
Many social media users confessed that they had never heard of a Greggs outlet before and many were keen to visit.
Did you know Greggs sausage rolls have 96 layers of pastry?
The first Greggs opened in 1951 on Gosforth High Street.
There are also 2,473 shops around the country — a thousand more than McDonald’s.
Greggs is now valued at £2.6billion thanks to its budget deals.
Nearly £2 in every £100 spent in UK hospitality is done in a Greggs.
Newcastle still remains the sausage roll capital of the UK, with Geordies scoffing 17.9 million of them a year.
One person said: “I need to go here.”
Another added: “A GREGGS OUTLET??????? WHAT???”
A third tagged a friend and commented: “Gonna take you there.”

At the same time, one Greggs fan wrote: “This place never has anything when I’ve been there.”
To this, the content creator replied and claimed: “Maybe because people like me come and buy out the shop!”
If you fancy taking a trip to a Greggs outlet, you’ll be thrilled to know that the chain is planning to open six more outlet stores in the UK this year.
The bakery giant currently has 35 shops open across the UK and hopes to have 50 by the end of 2025.
Roisin Currie, Greggs chief executive, told The Sun: “We’re proud to be one of the UK’s largest food-to-go retailers, but one lesser-known part of our business is our outlet shops.
“Selling unsold products the next day at a big discount, the Outlets allow customers on a tight budget to enjoy their favourite Greggs goodies.”
