The hypothetical guidelines (aka "rules") were just to encourage you to break out of your mold. Even the Cash Aran conspired to help you with that!

I bought everything I needed and have 11 dollars left. The saleswoman said "that's a pair of socks!". I almost agreed and then remembered the shaw I was buying yarn for. What if I RUN OUT? So, with a sigh, I put the sock yarn back and kept the 11 dollars for yarn emergencies.
