"Will" is used to express a possibility in the future:
For example: I'll buy some food.

You use "be going to" when you want to refer to a posibility in the near future
For example:I'm going to buy a new house this month (you can also say"I'm buying a new house this month" with the same meaning)

My 2 cents
