Shoes - Merrill only (I live in Vermont!)
Sandals - Teva
Good Henkels knives
Butter not Oleo
Cloth napkins not paper
Good appliances in the house
Good car (just not new....1999...)
So yes, I am a snob to a point.

I also spend a $$ on haircuts.

I try to invest when I buy. I don't buy many of one item just good (?) ones.

I could be foolish, but hey, I'm having fun!
