If they are buying such items they will likely be paying heavy interest for them and paying weekly for them,as the only way to have them rather than buying them outright.

I certainly don't begrudge those on low incomes having some 'special' items.

Well I do when they complain about not being able to afford food. Gifts are another matter, I meant purchasing them for themselves.
