I'm afraid economists would not agree with you. An increase in the price of one thing means lower prices in other things. Basic macroeconomic. You have to have an increase in the money supply to have inflation. The problem is the money supply has increased dramatically the past 2 years. Most of that is bbecause of bonds floated by the feds to pay for covid relief that was otherwise not funded. That's not a bad cause but it made inflation inevitable.

Money supply is only one factor in inflation.
