Yes but typically, the price will go up an obscene amount prior to the 2-for-1 offer... sometimes making the pre-offer hike price a lot more than the price taking the offer into account.
And no, I'm not surprised, in fact, I've suspected it for ages anyway.
Would have been nice to see the programme make a comparative study of the supermarkets, instead of just singling Tesco out- but as I said in my original post, there's only so much they can cram into a 30 minute programme, and they don't have adverts during or after it on a Monday!
