I wouldn't say that all cheap stuff is "bought twice" or is the worse long term value (living out of the clothes donation bin, for both rich and poor, is probably the best value as far as durability-to-cost). It's that the poor don't have the choice to buy the expensive stuff when it IS a better value.
