Did you do a lot less shopping in May 2020 than normal? Less shoppers risking it at Best Buy might have led to lower prices, but selection bias means a lot of us good citizens who stayed inside didn't see it.

Not really. But then again, we mostly shop for food, which is where I noticed most of the price increases. I would say our grocery bill is now around 30% higher than it was pre-pandemic.
