Fans of EastEnders were shocked to see how inexpensive the sandwiches at Stacey’s Baps were, and many questioned how Stacey’s café had survived.
Because Stacey Slater’s pricing at Stacey’s Baps are so very inexpensive, viewers of the BBC soap opera just could not understand how she can afford to live in East London. For instance, a bacon or sausage bap costs just £1.80, but beef burgers cost the same.
Lacey Turner’s character, Stacey, has previously battled financial difficulties. She and Eve Unwin made the decision to open their own café, Stacey’s Baps, in 2022.
However, given the costs in London these days, it’s difficult to see how the single soap mom earns any money from the store. Fans have learned how little she charges customers for meals and beverages at the establishment.
Because Stacey’s rates at Stacey’s Baps are so low, fans couldn’t figure out how she makes a livelihood.
You will only need to pay 50p if you are desperate for tea or coffee. Sandwiches with cheese or ham cost only £1.40, while a bap with two ingredients, such bacon or egg, costs £2.20.
“How she is still open with these prices in this economic climate is actually beyond me?” a fan remarked after seeing the menu. Another wrote: “How can the market traders run households with that income?!”.
A third person said, “Doubt you could get a sausage bap for that price in London in the 90s, let alone 2024.” “No wonder the Slaters are tight for money,” a fourth person said.
The soap opera’s cost of living crisis plotline has focused on Stacey. After making some unwise choices and experiencing some bad luck, she has struggled to make ends meet.
For instance, her 12-year-old daughter Lily became pregnant when her food truck was stolen. Stacey was unable to provide for her family when the biological father ceased making child support payments.
She sold sexy photos on the pornographic website Secret Cam, stole money from an office at her cleaning job, and incurred £3k in debt from a shady loan shark in an attempt to earn money.
