"I've said this 100 times, the issue with poor people is NOT daily living items -- food and items like toilet paper and garbage bags are incredible cheap.
Four-rolls of toilet paper at Walmart is 69 cents.
That ain't breaking the budget.
What is?
Car insurance.
Rent.
Health care insurance and bills.
Car payments.
The same things that hit all of us.
This whole story is ridiculous.
The high cost of being broke?
Not being able to save 15 cents on your rolls of toilet paper is the straw that broke the camel's back?
Or is the 26 percent interest rate charge on the maxed-out credit card minimum payment?
Poor people have bad credit and get victimized over that.
My nephew is in Jackson County jail and I go visit him every week. The county charges him $15 a phone call for him to call his "loved ones" (scare quotes because that's how the jail website describes family members when trying to coax people at the end of their rope $15 to make a phone call.)
Wake up.
It ain't toilet paper that's the problem.
End of rant."

While it may seem to defy logic, being poor means you tend to pay more everyday household items.
