I see this everyday at a local bodega. I watched a poor family essentially grocery shop at the corner store. Toilet paper, chips, soda, canned food, etc. Their bill was over $100. I could get 3x the items, at higher quality with a trip to Costco for the same amount of money.
- selectodude 5y agoBut that first trip to Costco would cost them $160 and they can't go without $60 worth of food for a week in order to save up. Being poor is incredibly expensive.
- chasebank 5y agoYes, that is the point I was making in reference to the OP.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoYup - and it makes the fact that there are a lot of wealthy liberals that lionize bodegas for their “authenticity” even more gross.
