I tried to imagine what I'd say in your situation. Probably "Excuse me, I have a lot of shopping to do. I think there's a clerk (some place) if you need advice."

In your case, however, that guy deliberately and physically invaded your space and stalked you. Even if it was a friend, I would have said, "what the hell do you think you're doing? Get the hell away from me." {Loud enough for others to hear. Even if it's a misunderstanding, I'd rather clear it up or apologize in front of witnesses than suffer from a supermarket molester}.
