Anything left over carries into the next week, and technically that should be enough to purchase a new plant. If it was just the plant he was purchasing.
[Kratos isn't thinking only of plants.]
The market nearby doesn't have a stall for seafood, and the nearest market which does is too far for me to walk.

[There's just no way he can pick it up, and the delivery is an expense the extra money won't cover.]
