Meh, I'd have helped but wouldn't have spent that much. Depending on their appearance (I know, I know) as in if they looked like a drug user/abuser probably less or not at all. Although I learned recently, some people are really good at appearing genuine and your gut feeling is something you shouldn't ignore.
All in all, I'd have just bought em like $20 worth of stuff had it happened to me.. if they really seemed genuine, get to know them better and maybe help them get a job. But idk about that last part, 'cause I don't want some random ruining my reputation just cause I was trying to help them out.
Hindsight is always 20/20 learn and move on

I wouldn't have helped, that scam is way to obvious. People own credit cards, not everyone but usually those who have a family do. No one goes around asking people to buy their groceries without being a scammer. I'd say 9.5/10 times someone is trying to screw other people over.

a con artist? listen to yourselves 
From what i can tell this women was pretty straight forward with what she wanted and there was no scamming involved, OP just agreed to it all and now he regrets it meaning he needs to be more conscious of what he's doing.
However i don't know why you are spending this whole time feeling bad about yourself OP, YOU DID SOMETHING NICE! just enjoy the feeling of helping someone out, it's not about you so get the fuck over it because she's benefiting and that was hopefully the reason why you did it in the first place.

Are you serious?
She ripped him off for 100$, told him the size of diapers at this store isn't the right one for her baby, asked him to buy her a gift card at another store for the diapers. Tried getting his credit card or something, I duno I'd have to look back and see all the shit he told us.
So she's not a scammer even though she obviously is acting like one?
I mean ok, let me borrow 100$ from you and I'll tell you I'll pay you by monday but won't call you back. Yeah that's not scamming at all hey?

Woah....Okay! nevermind, did he not include that in the original post?!
I didn't read all the way through the thread, just the first 2 pages and then commented
Thats some scamming! WOW! that shit would never have flown with me. OP take this as a really valuable lesson learned. I have been scammed and ripped off in multiple different ways in the past, after enough cons here and there you tend to not trust the world as much and it stops happening because your becoming more weary, you need to find a balance though because you still want to meet new people.

she found a mark and took advantage. First groceries, then diapers, then moms insulin. She plays on OP's insecurity and milks it for all its worth.
Life lesson OP, you got off cheaper than some do. Hopefully you do learn from it.

I'm not even sure if this story is even true. Some people mentioned OP making other threads that were pretty ridiculous like this one, I'm not sure I haven't read them. Reading through this thread though I'm not sure if he's really this gullible, it almost seems more likely he's making this stuff up since he's supposedly has a past for doing such things (allegedly).

After re-reading the thread and finding out that:
*She needed diapers and formula for her child. When they got to the diapers, "they didn't have the right size."
*When they got to the formula it was locked behind glass, so she said "she didn't want to wait for customer service to open it for her."
*Proceeded to ask OP to buy her a VISA gift card instead.
*OP instead ended up buying her $100+ of other random shit.
My conclusion is that OP must be either one of the most gullible people on the shroomery, or this story is full of bologna (which he probably bought her some of as well lol).
Edit: Chances are she probably walked right back into the grocery store and asked to return everything for a gift card so she could buy alcohol and cigarettes instead or sell the gift card for cash. I've heard of this scam a lot down here...
