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.

America instituted many price and wage controls during World War II to hold down inflation. Rent control got its start during the war and employers starting offering benefits such as health insurance to bypass wage controls. Shortages did occur and life was quite tough for those back home during the war. Once the wage controls were released after the war, prices did increase significantly. Prices went up 37 percent from 1944 and 1948, about the equivalent of the increase from 1976 to 1980.
Farmers overproduced farm crops.
Real estate prices during World War II were much less than they are today. For instance, a person could buy a house for less than 7,000 dollars in 1940. Today, most houses are at least 100,000 dollars.

After World War II, a significant supply shortage of consumer goods arose due to the disruption of production during the war and the subsequent transition of economies from wartime to peacetime manufacturing. The pent-up demand from consumers, combined with limited supply, led to inflationary pressures, causing prices for various consumer products to rise dramatically. Additionally, shortages in raw materials and labor further exacerbated the situation, contributing to the overall increase in prices during the post-war period.
