Pret has started slashing prices in response to the rising cost of living in order to compete with its rivals.

Eight sandwiches are available for as little as £2.99 in the chain's Made Simple line. The meal deal, which includes four vegan products, is part of Pret’s new range to help customers spend less.

Pret has also launched a £5 baguette deal for January - customers are now able to buy any full-size baguette with Pret’s crisps or popcorn for £5.

The move will spark a price war with its rival Greggs, as both companies stare down the barrel of double-digit inflation.

However, Pret will still be more expensive than Greggs.

What is on Pret’s menu?

The Made Simple Granary Sandwich range - egg mayo, BLT, tuna and cucumber, mature cheddar and pickles, chicken salad, ham salad, ham and cheese, and hummus and vegetables, with prices starting from £2.99.
