Most importantly: Since most of my sales are wholesale and not through Etsy, I also have to be conscious not to hurt the sales of my wholesale customers.  Undercutting their prices is only going to hurt me in the long term.  

This is a VERY permie attitude! Keeping prices competitive is healthier for everyone, in the long run. I kinda feel a little guilty for getting my Cotswold wool now, instead if waiting till after the price change. Knowing it's a one-time thing (plus current events are hitting our wallets hard, too) is why I went ahead. Otherwise, I generally prefer to pay a price that makes both me *and* the seller happy.

this is what even my aunt does (who does sewing/smocking designs and sells her own, but mostly does wholesale of the kits/patterns to others who themselves sell (including on etsy) undercutting yourself or others your basically in partnership with.
I am trying to take this time to hit up some small shops and local sellers of things that i normally might not use as often as i am in a better situation than many and some of those purchases are to farther other projects around here so its a win win. (all done to best of distancing, or entirely online/delivered)
