To illustrate, can frugal consumer A (with $N to spend) enjoy a market basket of goods and services half the market basket of frugal consumer B who has $2N to spend?
I think there are diseconomies of poverty where spending $N gets you less than half of what spending $2N gets you.
Or, put another way, economies of scale where spending $2N gets you more than twice what you get by spending $N.

I remembered how I was raised up; therefore, if I didn't need them, then they were out of my entire life.
More $NN were just for more storage spaces to me.
Hence I had no problems enjoying my $1N over $2N, unless the groceries prices hyped up again.
As for stimulating the economy with my $2N over an N, this is the free market, right? So my extra N goes with helping my favourite brands: lately I spent them on the personal defence department.

So I take it then you have a lot of experience renting rooms, since you really don't need more than a sleeping room.
Everywhere I've lived, you can get more than 2x the space of a room by spending 2x the cost of a room, and usually with more amenities and fewer disamenities.
It does help to have some money. There is a good saving opportunity to buy in bulk, or ar the very least, have enough to stock up when there us a good sale.
Having money to buy in bulk is not so much about income, it is about doing a good job of working your budget.

It also applies to renting in bulk; I paid more than $500 to rent a room in a 4BR (1BA) house (older, with deficiencies in a poor location) that rented for under $1000.

Of course. There has only been once in my life when I saw a larger container of the same thing costing more per unit product. It's almost always less. I thought everyone knew that.
