The prices for these things did not go up because the fed gave people stimulus checks to pay for their daily needs.

Yes they did.

When you give people stimulus checks, they spend it. That money enters circulation. It winds up in the pockets of businesses. And from there to the owners of said businesses. Which, since they have money and this is a horrible business environment to invest in, means that money goes into assets. Which drives up the price of the assets.
