I had a friend that used to own a small pizza joint here in Vancouver. The jump in the price of cheese wiped out his bottom line in a matter of months. He resorted to using less cheese and other toppings but wasn't able to compete against the larger more established franchise locations, so he shuttered his business and moved on. Sometimes little things like that can have a huge effect on a small business, I hope your wife finds a good solution to this.
My wife owns a bakery - the jump in the price of eggs has not been fun for her.

The good news is that eggs were cheap to start, so the jump in price hasn't started to have a major effect yet.
Glad it's not a huge problem then.
