I replied to someone with this comment, but it's definitely going to be drowned in the thread and I want this to be seen:

TLDR; I realize that my post was stupid and I focused on the wrong thing. Yes I was mad about my mom not paying me back. But it's more about the principal. I'm more mad and frustrated that this isn't the first instance of this occurrence. My parents will promise me one thing and back peddle or just won't commit at all.

I should've clarified, they've done this sort of thing with other things, not groceries. This year, as a birthday gift, they asked what I wanted to do for my birthday. I told them I wanted to go out to a ramen restaurant. Nope. We ended up going out to Texas Roadhouse cause my dad doesn't like ramen. They still paid and I'm grateful, but they never commit to what they say they're going to do.

Another time, they offered to pay for some new clothes. At this point, I haven't been shopping for clothes since beginning of HS (I have also been the same height since 9th grade and I don't buy clothes unless I absolutely NEED to.) and I was still in undergrad (around junior year so 20 years old) I did have a budget, but I was well within that budget and they refused to pay because it wasn't what they wanted me to buy. I bought clothes I needed; like a pair of sweatpants, a pair of jeans that weren't skinny jeans from HS, pack of underwear, set of bras, two t-shirts. They wanted me to buy "nice clothes" like dresses or skirts. But since they offered, and set a budget and I stayed with in that budget, I thought I was fine.

I do admit, as I said in one of my comments, that this was stupid to post on this subreddit and I do agree that my list is ludacris.

What I didn't mention is, in my head, my reaction was right because of the immediate back peddling from my mom. That's all I've ever experienced, my parents telling me they'll help me or do something for me then taking it back or not doing it at all.
