This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
