No, that’s not what the issue was. The stimulus was a drop in the bucket, and I think it’s insane to talk like people “have more money now” because they got a check for like a thousand dollars 4 years ago. That shit was gone the week after it was given, probably to rent in most cases.
The price increases were blamed on supply chain issues, which did exist, but not to the degree that could justify the increase.

There were several stimulus checks, so maybe some people spent it on rent and some saved it and spent it on going out when the shutdowns were over
You can see that people spent a whole lot more on food in 2022
