He actually never bought anything with that money. He did regret betraying Jesus, so he threw the money into the temple, which was used to buy the potter’s field. However, there was a symbolic reason behind what he did. 30 pieces of silver were the price of a slave; him selling out Jesus like that symbolised how little/cheaply Jesus was valued. The 30 pieces fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy that pieces of silver thrown into the temple will buy the potter’s field. The point was that the world may undervalue what is holy, but God still brings purpose, prophecy, and redemption out of human failure.
