Wine
Quality of ingredients, especially in restaurants
Cooking utensils
Mayo
Shoes--I will pay lots if they are comfortable and only buy certain brands. They're an inelastic commodity for me.

What I'm not a snob about--cars. I don't care, as long as it's comfy to ride in. We have a 13-yr-old Dodge Magnum we refuse to get rid of as it's the most comfortable ride we've ever had. Maybe that in itself is (reverse?) snobbery.

This is a fun thread.

For me literature. I hate to say it. I just can't stand seeing people reading awful fiction books. TV is for being awful, not reading. People will tell me about some terrible POS book like "Gone Girl" and I will be thinking Jeez, if you liked that, what would you think about King Lear?

Ice cream. If I am going to consume that many calories I am going to make it worth my while.

Shoes.
When I was a kid, our family had nothing, and I always said if I ever make good, I will wear hand made shoes, better than the B*****d who forclosed on our home, and put us on the street.
......and I did, and I do!
Anything else, and I'm as cheap as chips!

I got the good seats for my back!

I love this.

My friend grew up with questionable amounts of food on the table. He worked hard and made a good living for himself. He insisted there be meat on the table at every dinner.

Pots and pans

I Googleized the difference between a Snob and A Snot and apparently, they are almost the same. I did forget several items.

Don't even try to give or sell me any other Ice Cream than the Publix brand and The Ice Coffee must be either DD'S or Starbuck's none of that other junk.

Maybe I missed the post but I'm waiting for the list from our resident Numero Uno Lovable Snobarooney! No Names Ever!

Probably uses Mink instead of Scott's Sandpaper!

DD's or Starbucks aren't usually interchangeable. People usually prefer one or the other since they are very different. Chalk me up for Starbucks.

The first step to recovery is admitting.
