To solve this problem at our house, we take turns going to the store. I'll go one week and stock up on lean meats and things like that (we get our vegetables weekly from a CSA). The next week, he'll go and stock up on ice cream and chips and rolls and croutons and muffins and bagels (essentially tons of carbs). Somehow we ended up with 5 bags of chips this last grocery run!
He actually needs all those calories and carbs just to keep his weight up (he is stick thin and works a physical job 60 hours/week), so I don't look at it as trying to "sabotage" me. Sure I like chips, but I'm not going to deny him his chips and needed calories just so I don't get tempted.
I just request items when he goes that don't require a lot of thinking (ie please pick up eggs and tomatoes). I keep the other more complicated items for when I go to the store, like requesting specifically "plain nonfat yogurt" or "95/5 ground turkey" etc. That way, we both get what we want.
