THERE’S a bakery chain that you may have never heard of that sells sausage rolls cheaper than Greggs.
Cooplands is a Scarborough-based bakery and the largest family-owned bakery chain in the UK.

It was founded as a single shop in Scarborough, Yorkshire, in 1885 and has now expanded to become the UK’s second-largest bakery chain behind Greggs.
It has over 160 bakeries and 12 cafes across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and the North East.
And is famed for its massive cakes and large range of sweet and savoury products.
If you’re a fan of Greggs then you may want to give Cooplands a go, as some of its products are actually cheaper.
And with budgets being tight right now, shoppers will want to cut costs wherever they can.
For example, a sausage roll from Cooplands will cost you 65p.
In comparison, a Greggs sausage roll is priced at £1.20 – the bakery chain has been increasing the cost of its products recently.
Of course, prices will vary from store to store so do shop around for the best deal.

And make sure you’re up to date with Coopland’s closures.
It closed nine locations including Scarborough, Berwick Hills, Skelton and Great Ayton in North Yorkshire.
It has also closed stores in Lincoln including Woodhall Drive, The Hykeham Green Shopping Centre, Alford and Sleaford, and Houghton in Sunderland.
Cooplands has recently been hailed as having the country’s “cheapest breakfast” with hungry customers raving online about the budget brekkie.
While Cooplands may be trimming back on its stores, Greggs recently announced it is on track to open 150 new shops across the UK.
