Not as of right now (mid-July 2012). It takes time for these effects to work their way up into the food production stream. Perhaps later this year or early 2013 food prices could increase in a way traceable to the drought, but for now if any retailer tries to raise prices "because of the drought," you need to report them for price-gouging. In most parts of the US, one should report to the state Attorney General's office or some department therein.
