Feel like a taxi since I passed my test

I will start of by saying I am a kind person and would help anyone anytime.

Passed my driving test 2 months ago and ever since I feel like a personal taxi to my uncle. He needs supermarket trips 2/3 times a week, on the days when he needs shopping it's 2/3 different shops. I also drop in bread milk whenever needed.

He does buy me stuff at the shops although I insist I am paying on my own. For example if we are in shop I will pick up unnecessary stuff while I am there and then put it on the belt separate from his stuff but he always ends up insisting to pay. Not being rude but I don't need him to pay for my shopping all the time, he has enough money to not be skint but doesn't mean he needs to buy my shopping. (I know I sound ungrateful, I'm really not meaning it like this)

I just feel a bit annoyed by it as if him buying me stuff etc is so I will continue to take him shopping 2/3 times a week and run around picking stuff up for him and dropping it off etc.

It's at the stage now where I actually dread it, he takes ages in every shop, makes sly remarks on other people in the shop etc when none of it is any of his bloody business!!

He is not lonely, he has a partner and has several friends and the rest of the family.

Aibu? Am I being crabbit?

Or is he starting to take the p*as a bit?

OP - would you say there are any other instances of people taking advantage of you, where you can't find a way to say no? If so, I think it would benefit you to work on boundaries and managing others' expectations. People pleasing is tiring.
