Honey don't you remember when you wanted me to buy this...?

I live with my boyfriend in a studio apartment in the "nice",and "safe" but expensive part of the city of Chicago. Since my financial situation isn't what I'd like it to be bf pays most of the bills for our nice apartment and I pay for groceries. If that sounds kind of messed up, believe me it is.
I know I shouldn't complain but often times when we go grocery shopping bf will put things in the cart just because they are on sale. Sometimes I don't like what he puts in the cart and so he has to be the one to eat it. This wouldn't be a problem if he did EAT what he insisted on me buying. I put in the cart what we both want to eat and some of the things that I want, like snacks. The things that he puts in the cart are usually sale items like Indian dishes that are too spicy for my taste or frozen vegetables.
What ends up happening is that we both will eat the best things, the things that we were most excited about buying to eat and he will forget about the stuff that he wanted me to buy until I remind him about it a few months later. He doens't like snacks but I do and he eats my snacks. He blames me for buying them in the first place because he can't help himself. Ugh...
