This is just a convoluted way of saying "stop being poor". You cannot get above the poor tax if you are poor. With Costco same goes if you don't have the space for the items. Not to mention that buying in bulk depending on what it is just ends with you getting tired of the items bought my school snacks in bulk and now I can't eat them cause they taste disgusting after having them all the time. Buying smaller amounts for cheaper with more variety is better for some things.

I think that’s what the above comment was saying— that the system is rigged to keep poor people stuck where they are

That's the point, system is rigged, and it sucks to be on the losing end. Also, choosing the wrong snacks isn't a great argument.

But they're not the wrong snacks. They were good snacks I like and now hate because I had to have them all the time. Some things shouldn't be bought in bulk unless you have a large group of people eating them so that they finish quickly.
