They're not overcharging. Economics 101, as supply diminishes and demand increases prices rise. The fair and legal price for a food item is what people are willing to pay. Food is more expensive this week because it's in shorter supply and therefore of higher value. Deal with it, that's the way the world works.

Is food really in short supply? Not necessarily. Are people panic shopping and limiting how quickly some store can certain items, yes.

Ricky B, your the problem with this world. This has nothing to do with economics. This is clearly store owners taking advantage of the situation at hand. They know people are in a panic and their profiting from it and that's against the law. Its called price gouging and maybe you should go back to school. People are unemployed and afraid and these stores are taking advantage of that. You have no compassion for people and your probably a miserable person. Go deal with that.

Thank you Mayors office for acknowledging this problem.
