Goods may be rationed during wartime for a couple of reasons. When commodities become scarce (which can happen during wartime) and demand remains the same prices will rise, maybe a lot. Rationing reduces the demand and thus keeps prices from going out of reach for ordinary income people. Some commodities such as tires, gasoline, etc. are needed for the war effort, rationing makes them available for this purpose. I don't remember services being rationed but if they were it would be for the same reasons.
The limited supply of goods caused prices to rise.
The U.S. government(Kaylop)
Well, there were limited supplies to be sold and many people were willing to pay more for their daily goods so shops took advantage of that and increased prices.
Because the Union had blockaded the Southern ports, and very few imports were able to get through.
Prices of goods in the South skyrocketed and some people became Millionaires due to selling goods in inflated prices.
It increased as there were shortage of food and not enough money.
Supply and demand. Supply and demand determines the prices of goods and services in the market.
Inflation is an overall rise in the prices of goods and services. When the usual price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer services and goods.

A government only sets the prices for goods and services as a matter of course in Communist or strongly socialist countries. This has come to pass in more economically conservative countries only during periods of high inflation and serious economic downturn.
There may have been monetary costs, but just as often as not tradesman used barter as a means to exchange services for services, goods for services or goods for goods. In other words, they traded.
You will pay higher prices on goods and services.
