that depends on how much things open up again
i wouldnt say double but i could see an increase of about 10% across all products and as high as 50% on products from industries that did not recover globally
meat will be very expensive next summer, at least 35% higher than it is now
which sounds like a good thing for those meat traders I mentioned but most of that 35% won't be going to them, just to the processing factories while the price of unprocessed meat will continue to go downwards as they try to compete in selling it to processors, but processors won't make shit off it either as they'll still be forced to run with workers 5 feet away from each other
this of course means that 35% increase on meat prices will be going directly to the grocery store that had no hand in processing it
the only benefit is that local butchers might make a little extra, but their businesses will still suffer from covid restrictions as well so they could make a maximum of 15% of that 35% increase.

at least eggs and rice will be the same price
