Sometimes, all the stores decide to raise their prices on the same day, like a big group agreement. This happens because they want more money from customers at once, and it also helps them feel like they're doing something together. Price jumps are like when everyone in your class decides to wear red on the same day just for fun.
Examples
- All your favorite stores raise their prices at the same time, like a big surprise party for everyone.
- Price jumps happen when all the restaurants you go to decide to make food more expensive on Monday morning.
- Your mom buys a new car and notices that all the other cars have gone up in price too.
