In most frum communities there is group buying at cost with no markup -bypassing the stores altogether through a communal tzedaka organization. Therefore the stores know they are losing on kosher LePesach items-especially chicken/meat and fish- and have to raise prices. The stores make their profit on Chol Hamoed because the group buying is only once before Pesach and they count on people running out of items.

If they were, as a tzibor, with or without the leadership of rabbonim shlita, they would dine on potatoes until the market returned to normalcy. Sacrifice is out of the question, it seems. Nobody ever died from a lack of chicken.
