Greggs

Definitely one of the best-kept secrets of cheap eating in Newcastle, this Gregg’s “bargain bakery” is the destination for all of Gregg’s surplus freshly baked stock. The result is walls of snack food that you’d pay upto 5x as much for on the high street. Case in point would be a 5-pack of creamy chicken bakes selling for £1 or a chunky steak pie for 40p. There’s lots of ridiculous bargains if you’re willing to indulge in a bit of unhealthy (but very tasty) food. Lots of sweet treats as well, but watch the donuts as they can often be a bit stale. Check ahead to see if they’re open, as I’ve been disappointed quite often by their erratic opening times.
