Maybe gently explain to her that it's stealing and what the consequences can be of that?
I mean, I know it's not deliberate stealing but some shop owners might not have been so understanding and could have given YOU a hard time. YKWIM?
Sounds harsh but I guess you can't have her doing that all the time when you go out hey?

Take snacks with you. I always stress to my kids they cant have or open whatever it is until they pay the lady. They have the knowledge of that at the shops now so its worked.

When my youngest does the wrong thing in the supermarket (usually while i am paying at the register) I ask the checkout person to 'have words' with him. They usually are more than happy! "You listen to your Mummy! I'm sure you won't climb on the shelves next time you come here will you?" DS quietly shakes his head LOL
People need to make use of their village more often, kids are faaaar more likely to listen to a stranger than their mum... i find it works a treat!
