While you can understand inflation that way, that strikes me as trying to figure out the forest by studying a single tree. Better to look up the treatment of it

While you can understand inflation that way, that strikes me as trying to figure out the forest by studying a single tree. Better to look up the treatment of it as the interaction of money supply and money velocity. I'm not saying this is a complete picture either, it's only the beginning of the process, but it's probably a better starting point than trying to start at something so micro and trying to work your way up to macro. Such a path is theoretically possible but long and filled with peril.
