You were close, you had a problem with the col/row numbers and you need 
to add a flag.

Changed the following lines:
        self.sizer.AddGrowableRow(0,1)
        self.sizer.AddGrowableCol(0,1)
        self.sizer.AddGrowableCol(1,1)

        self.sizer.Add(self.itemlist,wx.GBPosition(0,0), flag=wx.EXPAND)
        self.sizer.Add(self.pricelist,wx.GBPosition(0,1), flag=wx.EXPAND)
