and i bet i could get at least 8 £ breakfast out of that? and make a small profit.

You forget the staff wages, property costs, cleaning, etc.

Of the £1, 17p is VAT (20%), so the shop only gets to keep 83p to go towards food costs and overheads.

There's no way they'll make a profit. It's just a loss-leader, the old "pile it high and sell it cheap" gimmick. It's getting them loads of publicity and they'll make some profit on the add-ons, extras, and people buying stuff from their shops to take home. It won't last. Next thing will be less on your plate for the same money (i.e. 3 items instead of 4), or the sizes will shrink.

Fill your boots while you can because it won't stay as it is for long.

But if the supermarket charged you £2.00 for the same product in different packaging you would probably put them in your trolley without a thought.

Nope. I always look at the ingredients, so the price doesn't matter. If I can't afford "nice" ones, I just don't buy any at all. Sausages are one of the few things I won't compromise on because of price.

I can't post a direct link as my account it too new, but the long and short of it is that Poundcafe is a cafe where, oddly enough, you can get a fry up for £1. You'll find the article with all the info in the DailyMail online, I found this on hotdeals uk. It goes pretty much like this:

Forget Poundland... now there's Poundcafe! Hundreds of customers flood new eatery in one of Britain's most deprived areas to get a fry-up for just £1
Sit-down cafe in Kirkby, Merseyside, is the first in Britain to offer a £1 fry-up
Its four-item £1 breakfast menu has a choice of egg, bacon, sausage, hash brown, baked beans and tomatoes
Poundcafe was an instant hit with 300 customers on its first day of trading


:T:T:T:T

Ok, it's not 'healthy' but come on, great idea

i think this is a brilliant idea, i love sausages. some are i agree not good quality, but in this economic hard time someone is doing good and the rest of the breakfast is nutritious. don't have the sausages you can choose 4 items and i think that is a thumbs up for the cafe and for you for posting this uplifting idea, lets hope others follow suit including those organic producers

*face palm* totally didn't remember about loss leaders! I need more coffee! :coffee:
Now my brain can stop picking away at it, wonder if they'll move into different combos like chips, beans and a sausage for £1?
