Price increase is the symptom of inflation because it happens after the cause.

The reason you list interest rates is because it is lever to control money supply.

Everything else you list is demand, what money is spent on, and subject to normal supply and demand pricing.

Just because a price changes, doesn’t mean it’s inflation causing it.
