I appreciate your help, but (and i mean this as no disrespect to you) i can’t just take your word for it that this is not a sin, that’s why i would prefer a good source.

You need to go talk to your priest. Scrupulosity needs spiritual assistance. Go seek counsel from your priest regarding these thoughts you have about sinning all the time.

Here is another source, however your core issue concerns an implied belief you control him, which is incorrect. Your actions are independent of his because your cooperation is insignificant. If you were an owner wishing to profit from the sales that would be different, however as a customer you are not a decision maker in this issue

On second reading of those articles it says that their must be a sufficient reason for material co-operation. Hw do i know if my reason in this situation is serious enough>?

In your hypothetical your food purchase is not material to his action. You would need to be involved in the action as a seller, advisor, or some other provider related activity of the condoms to reach a material standard. For example his mother who birthed him is not a material cooperator either. Neither your former money nor her Christian duty are responsible for his action.On second reading of those articles it says that their must be a sufficient reason for material co-operation.

like this ?Thankyou for your reply but I must ask you for a source.
*But, unless the law is promulgated, a material sin cannot be committed by its violation, since promulgation is a necessary condition of a binding law (cf. McDonald, “The Principles of Moral Science”, p. 245). *newadvent.org/cathen/12441a.htm
