About this deal

This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:

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...

    It'll only be a sit-down cafe until all the chairs get nicked.

    Nevermind margins...

    God only knows the meat content of the sausages and caged hen eggs...

    Really, for a quid, have cereal from Aldi/Lidl.

    That will last you a week and not be 'mechanically removed'.

    There are plenty of ways to have a healthy, cheap breakfast - daily

    No wonder people laugh at the state of this country..

    Well done, they deserve support. Why the negatives? You just put people off.

    Read about this in the news last month.

    Didn't post as I didn't fancy all the usual rubbish banter from the far too critical members who come on, the anti-Scouse and the 'all of a sudden' snobs here who turn their nose up at a cheap bit of grub.

    Good for you OP. Let us know how the brekky is if you get one

    Because they will buy 60,000 sausages at once, not a packet of 6 like you do, which also has to be transported to the shop, stored, refrigerated and sold by a "Server monkey" all while on the shops premises.

    Meanwhile in a cafe near you

    Closing down sale due to poundcafes...Goodbye greasy spoon!!

    Isn't this what happened to all the local shops once the superstores started undercutting them, and then wiped them from the face of the high street!

    How do they make it £1. One sausage =10p, one egg =10p, one slice of bacon 15p, baked beans 5p. Cost =40p + that obvious 90% profit on tea. I imagine you might even get 2 sausages.

    I am don't pretend to be a successful businessman but i would suggest that to do well your margins have to be above 50%
    However, i'm sure that everyone knows that margin in things like cups of tea/coffee are in the 80%+ area.
    Four items for £1 and you are probably getting close to 50% if you by cheaper produce.
    Its the upsells of other items, the volumes and publicity making it a viable business.

    As for Poundbakery. Love the concept. Greggs used to be like that before starting to put their prices up.

    Technically it is a deal, so hot....but is it any wonder we end up with horse meat in the food chain when stuff like this is priced so cheap?

    Historically, eggs have been considered unhealthy because they contain cholesterol.

    A large egg contains 212mg of cholesterol, which is a lot compared to most other foods.

    However, it has been proven, time and time again, that eggs and dietary cholesterol do NOT adversely affect cholesterol levels in the blood.

    In fact, eggs raise HDL (the good) cholesterol. They also change LDL cholesterol from small, dense LDL (which is bad) to large LDL, which is benign (1, 2, 3).

    A new meta-analysis published in 2013 looked at 17 prospective studies on egg consumption and health. They discovered that eggs had no association with either heart disease or stroke in otherwise healthy people (4).

    This isn’t new data. Multiple older studies have led to the same conclusion (5, 6).

    Bottom Line: Despite the fear mongering of the past few decades, eating eggs and cholesterol has no association whatsoever with heart disease.

    ** However fried eggs a fried slice, black pudding and a cup of tea with 10 sugars may not be particularly healthy for you

    Ah I see - I didn't realise that was how to define compassion - only given to the deserving. Try empathy too.

    If you've ever been unemployed or without lots of spare cash you'd know just how grindingly depressing it can be having no 'treats' (treats, ffs we're talking of £1 meals out here!) and to have to continually count and recount every penny. My last observation on the deal which seems a good deal to many.

    Presumably, the breakfast might be a quid but they'll have other stock to make the margins needed.

    I was gonna say that bet the drink is where they make there … I was gonna say that bet the drink is where they make there money...coffee tea etc all £2 a cup



    The deal link is to a local paper story. It says 'The standard four-item breakfast menu costs a £1 but each additional item is just 25p each while drinks and desserts, including cakes and gingerbread men, are priced at either 50p or £1.'

    Now I can pop in for a Breakfast while picking up my £1 zajazzle kit from next door.

    Don't forget that a lot of folk don't come here for deals - they come to get a buzz out of sneering at others.

    Not moronic, just a little bit sad.

    Good luck to them! Any business that tries to make a profit whilst serving the less fortunate (or even the more fortunate who want to save a few quid!) well done in my book. Personally though, the thought of a £1 breakfast brings me out in a sweat thinking about the poor quality and huge fat content. So HOT for value and ingenuity, COLD for personal desirability! If I'm wrong please correct me and post the nutritional information, I'd be genuinely interested to know.
