A cafe in Yorkshire has started selling its full English breakfasts for just 99p in a bid to help customers who are feeling the pinch from the cost of living emergency.
Tastee in Sheffield has partnered with a local meat supplier in order to offer the fry up - comprised of one egg, one sausage, a portion of beans, a slice of bacon and tomatoes - for under £1.
Usually, the breakfast would cost you £3.50 - but the cafe's owners have decided to drop the price as they acknowledge many people in the area are struggling following big hikes in taxes, petrol, energy and food costs.
The cafe's co-owner Nadine Grant told the BBC she and her staff just wanted to do their bit "to try and help the local community", adding that people "can't afford to spend on food like they used to".

Ms Grant continued: "They don't spend as much, or come in as often. It's obviously because of the situation at the moment."
"It is a big drop, but I had a word with my meat suppliers and they are helping us out a bit."
In spite of being hit with spirally energy and food costs herself, Ms Grant still wanted to do something to help local families who were struggling and so had a conversation with her meat supplier about providing certain items for less.
It's not the first time that she has done something to help struggling families, either, having previously helped to make up packed lunches for children and families in need during the pandemic.
The cafe, in Gleadless, serves a range of prepared hot and cold food to eat in or takeaway starting with breakfast and stretching into tea.
As well as the excellently priced full English, other items on the menu include baked potatoes, homemade cheese pies, hot roast pork rolls with stuffing, dip and apple sauce, chicken curry and chips with naan, and fish and chips.

Leeds Palestinian Film Festival announces dates for 12th annual edition
The Leeds Palestinian Film Festival has announced the dates for this year's festival.
This year's festival will explore the words of the celebrated Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour: "To make art is to say we are here."
These words will reflect the content of this year's festival, which aim to keep Palestinian stories alive; defy the erasure of history; and bring voices from the depths of destruction.
The Leeds Palestinian Film Festival will open Friday 13 November at the iconic Hyde Park Picture House with Life Support, a documentary about doctors in Gaza directed by Daniele Rugo.

The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the director and doctors from the film, chaired by Healthworkers4Palestine.
Early programme highlights include the UK premiere of Conversation with the Sea, Muayad Alayan's family drama in which a 60-year-old Palestinian man in Jerusalem, ordered by an Israeli court to pay a debt allegedly owed by his son who drowned decades ago, sets out to discover what happened.
Also showing will be Maggie Lemere's documentary, Land of Canaan, follows Palestinian farmers and their olive trees, some more than 1,000 years old, and the fair-trade movement led by Dr Nasser Abufarha to protect them.

Frances Bernstein, Festival Director, said: “To make art is to say we are here. We chose the words of the celebrated Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour as this year's theme because they reflect what the programme is for: keeping Palestinian stories alive, defying the erasure of Palestinian history, culture and identity, and bringing voices from the depth of destruction to audiences in Leeds."
The full programme, guests and ticket information will be announced in the coming weeks. You can find out more here.
Viral Yorkshire shop urges visitors to avoid weekends as huge queues form
Clementine Hall
A viral apothecary shop in Yorkshire has warned visitors about huge queues forming outside its doors, urging people to visit during the week if they want to avoid the crowds.
The Cabinet of Curiosities in Haworth has become a popular destination for those looking to really get into the autumn spirit.
And it seems like there's a lot of people who are looking to do so, as huge queues have been forming along the quaint cobbled streets of Haworth.
So much so, that owner Carolin had to issue a statement via The Cabinet of Curiosities Instagram page.

It reads: "Weekends in Haworth have become particularly busy during Autumn and we are so grateful to all those lovely souls who have patiently queued to visit the shop.
"We are so honoured that you are happy to wait to come in to our magical apothecary shop, and I can’t quite believe it when I look out of the windows and see the queue snaking up the cobbles. Be assured that the queue does move fast and it makes for a far more pleasurable visit if there are fewer people in the shop at once.

"If you would rather avoid the busy times it’s best to visit during the week if you can. Our shop is open 7 days a week 10-5, but to make sure all the shops in Haworth are open then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are probably the best days to visit.
"We are doing our best to keep up with restocking and our fabulous workshop witches are busy blending, filling and packing every day to keep to keep the shelves stocked. We are humbled and forever grateful that you love our little shoppe, and hope you enjoy your potions and your visit to The Cabinet of Curiosities."
