Home parties

How do you tell a co-worker that you don't want to go to her candle party??? I'll be honest, I really want to go but I just don't have the money. She invited all of us co-workers. It is this week and I just don't know what to tell her. If I tell her I just can't make it, she'll want me to still buy something. I just can't even afford gas right now! It is awful!!!
