To keep up with inflation, New York City bodega owners are raising the prices of everything from sugar to potato chips to their classic bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. At one store in the Bronx, the sandwich has gone up from $2.50 to $4.50.
Hector Perez prepares to wrap a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich at a bodega in the Bronx section of New York, Friday, July 22, 2022. The cost of New York City's favorite breakfast is on the rise. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is easy to make, easy to eat on the go and cheap -- although not as cheap as it used to be.
“Bacon, egg and cheese -- you can’t take that sandwich away,” said Francisco Marte, who owns a bodega in the Bronx. “That’s the favorite sandwich for the New Yorkers.” At the wholesale level, inflation climbed 11.3% in June compared with a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Labor reported. Producer prices have surged nearly 18% for goods and nearly 8% for services compared with June 2021.
