Yesterday, The Sun revealed the cost of a pint at this year's festival, which kicked off on Wednesday and is set to welcome over 200,000 fans, is between £6.95 and £7.20 - up a maximum of 40p since last year.
A festivalgoer from Manchester, known as on social media, posted a video to TikTok reviewing some French toast he'd bought for breakfast at the festival.
The "classic French toast" with maple syrup costs £6, but with just three half slices of toast included, one user pointed out that the stall is charging £2 for half a slice of toast.
"£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," they wrote.
Another said: " That's Glastonbury for ya....", while another user argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival.
Elsewhere, food trucks have been spotted selling "loaded fries" for £14, toasted sandwiches for £10, and Mac and Cheese for up to £16.
Another reveller, known as BoSFinesse, posted a video to TikTok of a burger he got at Glastonbury this week - with some of his followers pointing out the "eye-watering" price of £15.
"Burgers are coming in at anywhere between 10 to 15 quid a pop, which is pretty much the average price of a meal anywhere at the festival" he said in the video, adding: "So be prepared to remortgage your house for this one."
One follower replied: "15 f***ing quid...", while another said the prices at the festival were "ridiculous".
"I'm sure I had one of these at an event a few weeks ago, the price was indeed eye watering but it was absolutely bloody delish!," another follower wrote.
One follower fumed: "Why is it 15 quid... rent cannot be much... just ripping people off."

However, Glastonbury has also been offering a £6 meal deal option since 2015, which is available at more than 250 stalls at the festival.
It comes as prices at the festival's on-site bars caused a stir among fans earlier in the week, with some dubbing the costs "absolutely disgusting".
A double shot of spirit with a mixer will set you back an astonishing £13, while pints of draught beer and cider cost between £6.95 and £7.20.

Festivalgoers have also pointed out the huge premium being slapped on wine at the event, with organisers charging £32 for a bottle of wine that can be bought for less than than £10 from some retailers.
As photos of the on-site bar menu emerged on social media earlier this week, one fan commented on X: " Imagine paying over £300 for Glastonbury tickets to be told it's a further £32 for an £8 bottle of wine. 🤪 don't give festivals your coin it's a proper scam."
Some came to the defence of the festival bars, saying that the prices are "not bad".
One fan wrote: "That's not bad considering it's a festival."
Another person said: "Still cheaper than some pubs I've been to."
The Sun has contacted Glastonbury for comment.
