You've given your labels a width of 200px which is pushing everything over to the right.
You should get used to using the developer tools in your browser (if you don't already) as copying your code and looking at the element in the inspector I used Chrome) made this trivial to see.
And sometimes tables have a use over divs. This looks like a tabular layout to me and placing it in a table does make a certain sense.

This will work:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <!-- grocery.html
    A document for computeCost.js
    -->
    <html lang = "en">
    <head>
    <title>grocery.html</title>
    <meta charset = "utf-8" />
    <style type = "text/css">
    .row{
      width: 100%;
      display: block;
      height: 60px;
    }
    .col{
      float: left;
      min-width: 180px;
      display: block;
    }
    #done input[type="button"]{
      float: left;
      margin-right: 10px;
    }
    /*label,input {
      display: block; 
      margin-bottom: 20px; 
      margin-right: 20px;
      }
    label { 
      float: left; 
      width:200px;

    input {

    #items{

You should try to use some grid system like Skel or even better a solid framework like Bootstrap or YAML.

Another problem with forms is that they can look very different depending upon which browser you're using. I've used things Fomralizer in the past to force the same look and feel for all browsers.
