I can understand that you actually let her know you didn't have the money to attend and it was her choice to decide to go ahead with the session, knowing she could trust you to pay at a later date.
I am probably thinking of it more from the T point of view....if someone regularly saw me, I might feel a bit hurt that I was putting in time and effort to help someone and they let me know that buying something was more important....but I'm sure you didn't mean it that way...it was just a case of money and timing.

If I'd have just told her I couldn't attend, She likely would have tried to know why and kept probing for answers which would have just been irritating. I can't be bothered to hide something like this from her anyway. I assume she's tough enough and had a lot worse to deal with to do with a client.
In that moment, buying something was more important to me then the T. But then you have to consider, the T's family and friends are far more important to her then I am. I don't take that personally, nor am I hurt because that's something I've always known and it doesn't bother me.
