I couldn't say normal unless it was normal for her circle of people - which would probably have to be either very rich or social climbers.
Some people believe they are the image they project. Or if they don't believe that, they still want others to believe it.
And for some people material status equates to "success" - the proof that they're okay, admirable, lovable, etc.
They display it ostentatiously with brand awareness: only a Mercedes or Rolls is acceptable, only Joy perfume, Armani trousers, truffle soufflé with a 2010 Margaret River white burgundy at Rae's on Wategos Beach (hire a jet to get there, book a private table so Paris Hilton won't see you.)
It doesn't work, of course. It's wrong-headed thinking in the extreme.
And it can be a symptom of narcissism, so it's worth being wary of it.
Alternatively, some rare people are gourmets. They are so particular about the quality of their food that they become increasingly fussy.
Ironically, considering how much they love food, the more difficult it is to find and acquire what they love, the less they will enjoy most of their food.

People are really funny about money.
I had a friend (in his low 30's) tell me that he and his wife were millionaires because their income (combined) was $200,000 but he was paying $1,500 a month in car loans, had a $300,000 in mortgage and no savings.
He didn't like it when I explained "millionaire" meant having 1,000,000 in savings.

@SW-User hahaha right! How are you a millionaire if you don’t own the assets that equate to a million? Where I’m from people are very materialistic and it’s such a huge turn off bc you’ll never know if ppl genuinely like you for you or for the stuff you have.

Red lobster is good why is she making fun of you
@SW-User right she started laughing at me and kept saying nvm when I asked why. I’m like, “you’re welcome for the free food”.

@DecafD well I’ll always appreciate free seafood 😆
I kinda like red lobster. its not the highest end stuff, but I wouldn't call it low end, either. she apparently doesn't appreciate your efforts, I'd stop trying
