Reminds me of when my brother and I were 18-20 and asked our upstairs neighbors, Wanda and Lou from Austin, to help with buying us a case of beer for New Years Eve. They asked what kind we wanted and we said Budweiser. Wanda said “oh, splurgin!”. I guess standard was Natural Light or Busch or something and she saw Budweiser as somewhat elite.
Ever read the text on the Budweiser label?
“This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness and drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price.”
(emphasis mine)
It’s not like you suggested something really classy, like Coors Banquet.

Did you consider she might have been being sarcastic?

No, because the way she said it made it clear that was not the case.
