Price hikes in Japanese food markets are not good ？.

The prices at markets that claim to offer "passionate prices" and the like are in an "all-you-can-eat" state. In Japan, people seem to be willing to raise prices even by a few percent, but Japanese foodstuffs at this market have doubled in price from a little while ago, or even increased by 100 percent, without hesitation. I guess they are trying to make up for the loss of revenue caused by the Corona disaster, but the fact that the number of shoppers has not decreased even at these prices suggests that sales are much higher than before the Corona disaster and revenue is increasing.
Even for locally manufactured and sold products, which should not be so expensive in terms of transportation costs and raw materials, the local Japanese and Japanese-Americans end up buying them no matter how expensive they are, so I feel that they are setting absurd prices in a state of so-called "hiked prices". ？
Of course, they are relatively modest in raising prices for necessities and prominent products because they would be exposed if they raise prices all at once, but even so, they raise prices many times in a short period of time.
When the store first opened after the acquisition, there were parts where I could see the business attitude of a Japanese company with the concept of cheap sales, but I wonder if they are changing their business attitude to one where they carry everything on a large scale, but the prices are high, but you buy it because you need it anyway ？. ？ For those of us who eat mainly Japanese food, I was complaining about the business that makes me want to boycott them, which I cannot do even if I wanted to.

I'm not a Cosco member, so this is a little off topic, but
I use the thinly sliced meat for Philly Cheesesteak sold at Ralphs,
I also use it for beef bowl. It's pretty cheap and tender.

Some things are still cheap ！
I go to many different stores
Please do more research and don't fault the stores that are doing a great job.

In terms of probability, people who are heavy smokers or daily drinkers usually don't live long.

Thanks for the good info
I'm commenting again because I didn't get my thank you comment from yesterday posted.
I guess I should ask here.
Thanks for the help, I'll go look for it at Ralph's earlier today 🙏😊.

It is a fact that there are some old men and women (over 85 years old) who live long lives even though they smoke cigarettes.
The old man said, "I live long because I have these cigarettes.
In other words, he is exhaling his stress through smoke🤔
Also, I saw old people (especially women) smoking with a long kegger.
But I think that in terms of probability, both drinking and smoking shorten life by about 10 years
I've recently started to wonder if that's why men die earlier than women.
I smoked cigarettes until I was 46 years old and was shocked when I was told that the tumor on my thigh was cancerous, so I quit smoking that day. When I went back to Japan the other day, I was surprised to see how many Japanese people were smoking. In a coffee shop, there was a smoking room
and the smell near the smoking room was so strong that it made me feel the difference between Japan and America.
