I make and sell pepper jellies and sell produce. I have raised my price for each jar every year for the last 3 years. I started out at $3.50. Now I am at $5.00 and I sold more this year than ever. I started not knowing if it would sell, now people, who like my jelly, call me "The Jelly Man". Don't be afraid to raise your price. It scared me, but my cost of production has gone up too. Probably not as much as my increase, but it does cost me more to transport everything too. The difference is my jelly will keep from week to week and bread will not. I would say raise your price and don't make a big deal about it, just explain why, if asked. I also have a difficulty getting the produce prices some of you are talking about. If I charged some of those prices, I would be laughed at and sell nothing. I am one of the highest priced vendors. I have higher prices so it will control my supply and demand. I could ask less, but I would sell out all the time. This way I am earning more, bringing home some and making everyone happy. Good Luck!
