BAKERY chain Greggs has warned it must put up prices for the second time this year due to rising costs.
But if you want your pastry fix without feeling the pinch, here’s how to treat yourself for less . . .

SAUCE IT ELSEWHERE: Iceland sells Greggs products you can heat at home. Grab a box of eight sausage rolls for £3.75 (47p a roll) — saving you £3.93 if you were to buy eight in store.
You can get other Greggs favourites there too, such as those popular chicken bakes.
TAKE A WALK: It pays to take your Greggs away. Use a park bench instead of eating in store and save 10p-20p.
’APPY DAYS: Download the Greggs app for a complimentary hot drink, then collect nine stamps in any category to earn a tenth item free.
It will also qualify you for a free sweet treat on your birthday, saving you up to £2.
BAG A BARGAIN: The Too Good To Go app lets you buy “magic bags” of discounted food that shops and cafes haven’t managed to sell.
Greggs offers them for around £2.59. You take pot luck on what’s inside, but shoppers boast of impressive hauls.

DIY PIES: Create your Greggs favourites at home. The muminthemadhouse.com blog tells how to make sausage, cheese and bean melts: Preheat oven to 200C, unroll a pack of puff pastry and cut into 12 rectangles.
Brush beaten egg around the edges.
Get a tin of sausages and baked beans, chop the sausages into smaller chunks, drain off sauce, then spoon contents on to centre of six pastries and cover with grated cheese.
Add pastry layers on top and press down edges with a fork to seal, pierce middle with a knife and bake for 20 mins. You should be able to make six for £2, instead of £8.28 in store.
