Embrace being on your phone while watching a movie. (If you’re not at a theater)
Movies aren’t enough stimuli for me either. So I just scroll a bit during boring parts.
Don’t buy snacks and leave them in the house unless they’re healthy. Some nuts. Baby carrots. Fruit.
Find fun sparkling water drinks to sip

Ultimately no one agrees 100% on the answer. But we can say there are two major reasons.
Demand is significantly higher than supply, thus raising prices. It basically costs more to buy the same thing because it’s scarce.
Or prices go up because raw materials cost more. Tariffs are an artificial way to add costs of production. But lack of the basic materials causes prices to go up thus lowering purchasing power.
To a lesser extent, public sentiment can drive inflation. And printing money as well.
All of this is exacerbated by the dollar not being tied to gold anymore.
