MARTIN Lewis's MSE has revealed how to get a free meal at Greggs – but you need to be quick.<\/p>\n

The Money Saving Expert pros shared the tip in their latest newsletter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Writing on the MSE website, his sidekick Sarah Monro said: "Think there's no such thing as a free lunch?<\/p>\n

"Yes, you really can get totally free food at caf\u00e9s, restaurants and supermarkets.<\/p>\n

"Fast-food chains often offer discounts and freebies to new and existing customers through apps and membership 'clubs'."<\/p>\n

Sarah explained that Greggs is offering a free pizza slice and hot drink if you sign up to its app before Monday October 16.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Most Greggs fans will have spotted the duel\u00a0pricing\u00a0that's displayed in some of the chain's stores.<\/p>\n

And that's because Greggs charges two different fees depending on whether you eat-in or take-away.<\/p>\n

There's a VAT charge on eat-in products and the store has confessed to a "little extra" charge in its caf\u00e9 shops to cover "additional services".<\/p>\n

You could take your sausage roll away in a bag though, and find a nice comfy park bench nearby and find yourself saving 10p-20p.<\/p>\n

Waste not<\/h2>\n

Ever wondered what happens to all the treats that don't get eaten at the end of the day?<\/p>\n

Shoppers can buy the leftovers from the shop which would have only been chucked out otherwise.<\/p>\n

And because they were on their way to bin anyway, it means these goodies are charged at rock bottom prices.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Too Good To Go app\u00a0lets you buy \u201cmagic bags\u201d of the discounted food that Greggs, along with plenty other shops and cafes, haven\u2019t managed to sell.<\/p>\n

Greggs offers them for around \u00a32.59.<\/p>\n

It's\u00a0pot luck as to what\u2019s inside, but some shoppers have managed to chance upon impressive hauls in the past.<\/p>\n

One shopper managed to\u00a0bag \u00a314 worth of Greggs goodies for just \u00a32\u00a0with the app \u2013 and even the shop worker was grateful and thanked her for "saving" the food.<\/p>\n

Another savvy shopper nabbed an even more impressive\u00a0\u00a323 worth of Greggs grub\u00a0including a steak bake AND four doughnuts for just \u00a32.95 too.<\/p>\n

Find a freebie<\/h2>\n

Every now and then Greggs will offer out freebies and limited time rewards for customers – particularly if its got new products that customers need to taste.<\/p>\n

At Christmas\u00a0Greggs gave away 50,000 free festive bakes\u00a0and vegan festive bakes, for example, to get fans in the spirit.<\/p>\n

But there may be a 'hack' to bagging freebies in store at any time too.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0ex-employee revealed\u00a0how staff are allowed to offer customers a freebie if they're genuinely disappointed with the food available.<\/p>\n

They claimed: "If ever there are no sausage rolls or if there are cold products, Greggs can offer the customer something free of charge."<\/p>\n

Usually a Greggs sausage roll costs \u00a31.75, and it is the most popular item on the store's menu.<\/p>\n

Employees can only offer customers a freebie if the store doesn't have any fresh pastries available though, or if the hot product you pay for turns out to be cold.<\/p>\n

But keep in mind that you can't just expect the free food as it's given out at the discretion of the staff, and only if you've genuinely had a bad batch of food.<\/p>\n

Shop around<\/h2>\n

It's not just at Greggs that you can buy all your favourite pastries.<\/p>\n

Iceland sells Greggs products you can heat at home.<\/p>\n

Okay, it might not taste exactly the same, but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite dish from your local supermarket.<\/p>\n

You can grab a box of eight sausage rolls for \u00a33.75 – which works out to be 47p a roll.<\/p>\n

If you bought a sausage roll every day for a week, maybe treating yourself to two at some point over the weekend too, you'd be spending \u00a33.93 more than that buying them straight from the store.<\/p>\n
