John and Jerry Randazzo are marking
their 25th year in the bakery business in Bridgewater.
John says the
price of everything has gone up. This includes wages, insurance, gas, cooking
oil, eggs, butter, chicken, paper, cardboard, cream cheese, butter cream, flour, cold cuts and anything dairy.
"I would say
a third to 40% for sure," says John. “From
what my distributors say, brace for stuff not going down."
That means higher
prices throughout the holidays. But at least the brothers say prices won't be
rising.
"I'll make
the stuff,” says Jerry. “I don't even know what it costs. I don't know the
value. I had fun making it. Why should I charge so much for it?"
