....How do you feel about people that just "have" to have the best of everything and be the best? The ones that must be noticed by their top of the line product,.. whatever that may be?

....I have known many people as such. I find that as time goes by,... I find myself distancing a bit from them. I am not a fan of snobby peeps in general. Don't get me wrong. I am not bashing people that are in such a way. I just prefer down to earth people in my surroundings.

......So,......what about..."You"?

If I like it, i buy it, regardless of what it is.

Wicked Lady has the right idea, sort of.
I use cost-per-wear with clothes figuring if I wear a $200 cashmere tee a thousand times, it only costs me 20c every time i wear it and it will be as good as new on the thousandth wear if i look after it. but if i buy a nasty $10 shirt and wear it a few times before it gets stretched it costs, like, 50c per wear and sucks.
With food I buy the homebrand shit cos it tastes better (honest) and cosmetics it tends to depend.

cf. generic vs' name brand

There are only a few things I (personally) refuse to buy bargain but none of it is clothing or anything like that.
More like hunting stuff, work boots, swords, fire arms and blacksmithing stuff.
I have a pair of work boots that cost me about 250 dollars but nothing can match them in terms of comfort when you have to be standing for 8 hours plus and need something that can withstand all sorts of conditions.

I never could understand people who spent 100 bucks on a hair cut, I thought no matter what it was just hair. Sure my wife tried to explain but I didn't get it until she just went out and went to the place she talked out.
Truth is it did look better then anything that can out of super cuts and it lasted a months without needing anything done to it.
Quality is exspensive and I guess it all depends on what you like to spend money on. After all artist spend huge amounts of money on certain brands of paint or brushes but they tend to last longer and give a better effect then the cheaper stuff.
