Imagine you and your friends are all buying the same candy at a store. At first, there's plenty of candy to go around, but as more people start buying it, the price goes up because the store can charge more, that’s how inflation works. When lots of people spend money on things they want, prices often rise since stores know everyone wants them.
Examples
- If every student in the school starts buying pizza on lunchtime, the cafeteria might charge more for each slice.
- During a holiday sale, if all your friends want to buy the same toy, the shop may increase the price.
