    You weren't paying attention,maybe? Maybe she was hungry and counting on those cheeseburgers but instead you came back empty-handed? It could be she thinks you were deliberately ignoring her.

    It does sound like she over-reacted,especially over 7 bucks-you can't buy many cheeseburgers with that even at MacDonald's.

    Just give her time to calm down,next time she gives you money for food check and find out exactly

    what she has in mind. Not much else to do,really.

    She obviously overreacted. Women are bad at controlling their emotions and you probably could only buy 1 cheeseburger with 7 bucks, so ask her if you didn't eat and bought the burger, that means shes the selfish one and blahblah. Tell her if she really meant that you should kill yourself, you'd do it. Then she'll feel sorry.
