Next time remind your child they are on a budget of $20 or whatever amount you give them. Although the Mom should have helped the child pick out an item within the childs budget. I am thinking she may have wanted to give the child a treat. I know for myself there are times I will treat my little shopping guests. Since I invite them I like to buy them a toy or something.

I like Maries idea of returning the purchase and refunding the Mom because this lets the child know that they MUST only spend within their budget. Excellent learning experience there.
Keep us posted of the outcome...
