Small Favor: Could You Share A Grocery Receipt For A Project I’m Building?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a small project that tries to read grocery receipts and automatically categorize the items (milk → dairy, apples → produce, etc).

The surprisingly hard part is that every store prints receipts differently. Walmart, Tesco, Costco, Aldi, and others all have their own formats, abbreviations, tax layouts, loyalty sections, and discount lines.

To make the parser reliable, I need a few real examples of receipts from different stores.

If you happen to have a receipt from one of these stores, it would help a lot if you could share one.

Examples of stores I’m currently looking for include:

US: Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Whole Foods, Target, Publix, Trader Joe’s, Aldi

Canada: Loblaws / No Frills, Costco, Sobeys, Walmart

UK: Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Aldi, Lidl

Australia: Woolworths, Coles

Singapore: FairPrice / NTUC

Switzerland: Migros, Coop

Japan: Aeon / MaxValu, Ito-Yokado

South Korea: E-Mart, Homeplus

What works best:

• a quick photo of the receipt

• a scanned receipt

• a digital/email receipt

You can blur or crop anything personal like card numbers or addresses. The only parts I really need are:

• the store name/header

• item lines

• prices

• tax/discount sections

Even one receipt helps because each retailer has its own format.

If you’re willing to help, you can:

• post an image here

• DM me

• share an Imgur / Google Drive link

I’d really appreciate it. And once the parser is in good shape, I’m happy to share the dataset and parsing rules with the community as well.

Thanks for helping a nerdy little project learn how to read grocery receipts 🙂
