Honestly, I understand her asking you to bring (reasonable) things, and after you have your baby, you'll understand why. It seems like a marathon to leave the house for the simpliest task. And no matter how perfect you plan your baby's nap, somehow they always end up waking up and screaming their head off just a split second before whatever you are cooking starts to burn. Murphy's law, I guess. But the not paying you back? Not cool. If you're really okay with picking stuff up for her as long as she pays, bring that part up with her. If you're not okay with bringing things all the time, then start turning down invites.

The joking thing could work - I would probably say "Now when my baby comes, you're bringing me McD's/coffee/Taco Bell every week, right?"- as long as it doesn't come off sarcastic and aggessive.
