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!

I have never seen such a significant price rise on any product that has had a BOGOF offer. Morrisons always seem to have one brand or other of coffee on BOGOF all the time. Maxwell House is the current offer and the price is £2.95 same as it has been for a couple of years.
I have seen BOGOF offers used to soften the blow of price increases but not on popular items. They may put the price up from £2 to £2.20 but introduce the BOGOF at the same time as the price increase so that you are getting two for your £2.20 instead of the normal one for £2. This often lasts for several weeks so that you are accustomed to seeing the new price before it actually hits you in the pocket.
