Erik ten Hag has made another big decision at Manchester United with the captaincy.
'I went to Greater Manchester's only Greggs Outlet and what I got for £9.50 was insane'
23.07.2023 - 06:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
There used to be a bit of food snobbery surrounding Greggs. A bit like Aldi and Lidl, it was never as cool to shop there as it is now.
These days shoppers can't wait to tell people about the vegan sausage roll or whatever else they've picked up from the pie and pasty maker.
But there's one place that's proving more popular than Greggs and that's the Greggs Outlet.

Sadly there's only one of them in Greater Manchester - at the moment anyway - and customers have been flooding the shop in Oldham since it opened in May.
Why? I hear you ask. Well, it's cheap. Very cheap. The majority of the products are less than half the price you'd usually pay.
What I managed to pick up for £9.50 was insane. My shopping included Steak Bakes for 70p each, four sausage rolls for £1.70 and four jam donuts for a quid.
A box of filled donuts was £1.60 - and on offer to buy one, get one free - working out at just 20p each.
It's not out of date stuff. It's simply items which were made the day before, but didn't sell, so they are passed onto the Henshaw Street branch, opposite Oldham's Tommyfield Market.
I even got a brew in a reusable Greggs cup while I was there. It's £2.40, you get your first drink free and then you get 20p off whenever you take it back for a refill. Or you can get 20p off with a different reusable cup.
The staff told me the shop has been a massive success so far. There are 32 outlets already up and running, with more in the pipeline for this year and plans for 50 across the UK by 2025.
They wouldn't tell me whether Greater Manchester is getting any more, but I got the distinct feeling it won't be long until we're blessed with another.
Apparently it's the Yum
