Mine examines everything I try to put in the trolley, picks up something similar and says 'this one's cheaper'. Drives me mad.

It's like shopping with a small child isn't it evianers. I don't find Mr. S. too troublesome when we're super market shopping it's general shopping that drives me mad.
There's literally a look of sheer panic if I approach something and say 'isn't that lovely', especially if it's expensive, because he automatically assumes I'm going to buy it.
Have you tried unloading the unwanted sugary items before you get to the till 
Have you warned him about type2 diabetes?
Mine likes grocery shopping for a similar reason - he always pays so I happily let him
I think your DH must be closely related to mine
Not quite sure whether there is a specific section for this kind of message [rant]? but perhaps it will bring a smile to some of the participants' faces?
Going shopping with my OH is nothing short of a trial. Whereas I am busy buying meat, vegetables, joghurt, bread etc. DH is round the back of the sweeties shelves, and subsequently deposits biscuits, chocolate bars, muesli bars, sweets and crisps into the trolley when he thinks I am not watching. For this reason, he always insists on accompanying me. Many men would baulk at the suggestion of going shopping for groceries, but my OH loves it!!! Wonder why? Oh for being back at work again
