We had a similar problem with a small rubber 'bumpon' we use by the thousands. We used to buy them from a local supplier, the price after not moving for years went from 10c to 17c each over 12 months.
I did some investigating, they are made in the US, I emailed the manufacturer told them I wanted to buy approx 50,000 at a time and they sell them to us (depending on exchange rate) for about 3c each including freight. Saved us $9,000.00 in the first year!
