Poor people buy Campbell’s? That shit is pricey as hell nowadays and I can’t remember the last time I gave a fuck about their overpriced oversalted garbage.
And it might sound crazy, but there are tons of people living in motels full time as well, with no more than a mini fridge and a microwave to cook with. Some of the only affordable housing out there is simply rented out bedrooms in someone else’s house - meaning a shared kitchen, complete with competition for cooking times and space.
It’s easy to say as others have and talk about it being far cheaper to make soup yourself. But the reality is, not everyone has the time, space, or equipment to do that. Having to buy ready-made food is another poor tax, in a way.

Not in food deserts.
Walk into a chain pharmacy or a dollar store in the US and Campbell’s will be one the cheapest of the 3 soup brands they offer.
