Glen,
I have to say it - negotiate! You don't have to accept their increases. You have 
some choices. Maybe not attractive choices, but choices nevertheless. Let them 
know their proposed price increase just may push you into making big changes.
 
I try to always have a price escalation clause in the contract that ties any 
price increase to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The U.S. Dept. of Labor, which 
published the CPI, has lots of information about using it in contracts. Won't 
help you this time, but saves a lot of hassle in the future. See
