じゃ、私、今買いに行く。
is expression for speaker's determination.
これは話者の決心や決意を示す表現です。
じゃ、私、今買いに行こう。
is expressing speaker's intention.
これは話者の意図を述べる表現です。
Although both of them are mentioning speaker's will, If we compare determination with intention, determination contains stronger will than intention.
どちらも話者の意志を述べていますが、決心や決意を示す「行く」の方が意図を示す「行こう」よりも強い意志を感じさせます。
