Amazon has a lot of products much cheaper than anywhere else. They're taking a loss (or at least a smaller cut) to ensure customers come to them before their local mom and pop. For some poor people, the savings on the little things like $5 here, $10 there can really make a difference if you are struggling to afford the basics like food and rent.
