While I was there I was thinking that it would be difficult to find any product in the store where the price has not risen more than 8%. Many products have doubled and even tripled in price and I'm not exagerating. I agree with your average figure of 30-40% average increase. One bright spot is beef prices have started to come down but are still about 10-20% above pre-Covid prices.
