I go over on the weekends to my boyfriends house, where his mom also lives (she doesn’t work). He rarely has groceries - eats fast food or buys ingredients to make one meal and then said meal is gone, then so is the food and the cycle repeats - so, I started bringing my own food and snacks. I often cook from scratch as well. I also want to be as little of a burden as possible.
However, my boyfriend has taken to helping himself to however much of my food/snacks he wants to the point that he often eats more than I do. I’ll have closed up something and put it away, only to turn around and he’s eating it and left it open. This happens often. I’ve tried giving pretty on-the-nose hints, such as when he does this I say “Did you open that back up after I closed it?” or when he’s eating handfuls of something at a time, I’ll say “Dude!” in a “Really?” sort of tone. Sometimes he will straight up take something I’m eating out of my hands to eat himself. He will even let his mom eat my things as well. (Last weekend, I accidentally left a big box of hot pockets over at his house and he texted me saying his mom had eaten them. When if he had just told her not to, she wouldn’t have). I don’t want to hurt his feelings, but I find this really annoying.
Thoughts? Would this be annoying to you as well? Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention: he is not working or going to school at the moment, but has plenty of money to buy groceries. Emphasis on plenty. We have also been together going on 8 years, if that makes a difference lol

I am currently working, but I do not have nearly the amount of money he does and honestly can’t afford to feed myself plus him
