A girl was sent on vacation with only $50..But who is at fault you say?  Both.  equally...The girl is selfish because she spent $48 on herself and $2 on her father...And the aunt is a bully..trying to force another person to spend their money, the way they think they should spend it...and then getting mad about it...big no no.

IMO the aunty.   Way  over the top negative reaction (unless there is another side to this story).

Neice was very creative in finding a way to make the most of her last $15 in spending money.   All it cost the aunty was a little time and a drive to the $1.99 store.

Not like the girl asked for aunty to give her $3.00 (plus taxes) she would have needed at the first store (hat and sunglasses).    Even THAT should not have been a crisis for aunty:  cover the girl for now and get paid back.
