Grocery stores 100% have done this. They've raised prices 30% and say "ohhh it's because of the pandemic and our suppliers are having a rough time". On something yes but on most things no. They've raised priced 30% across the board.
Probably going on neatrly a year now, I’ve been watching the prices, especially at Kroger. Their CEO basically called his shot and said they would “have” to raise prices.
What I have observed is they raise prices to a point where people buy less. Then suddenly there will be sales where items are “discounted” anywhere from 30% to 75% under the “regular price.” I know this is an age old tactic, but the price differential and their surging profits really point to gouging.
