Are they arent they????
Is it me or are Greggs Steak Bakes and pasties getting smaller with less filling? To me it seems that they have shrunk a bit (well mi belly does anyway). I know over the years everything seems to get smaller (including sweets) and I therefore asume this is to avoid a price rise (initialy). What else is going that way which we buy when we,re in town shopping and need a bite to eat (the food budget does not count).

Re: Are they arent they????
I'm not sure about the steak pies but wagon wheels have definitely got smaller. In fact I think most chocolate bars have become smaller. The manufacturers then make king sized versions and charge you double for them..

Re: Are they arent they????
yes the steak bakes are getting smaller at greggs
thier small sausage rolls ar laughable now compared to how big they were 2 years ago
over the last 2 years the small sausage rolls have shrunk to less than half their origional size
anyway i switched to using mannings on the bus station as although slightly more expensive their food is much tastier in my opinion
