Users quickly responded to the thread with one saying: "All the supermarkets raising their meal deal prices is so so so stupid, why would you not want to be the best price? Greed vs greed."
Another posted: "I hope this isn't true. Might as well get rid of the meal deal if Tesco keeps upping the price."
A third added: "I will be boycotting the meal deal from when this hike occurs."
A fourth moaned: "£3.60 I could still defend, getting a bit mad now though."
