Do you leave your shopping receipt in the trolley then go home?  Perhaps I have done a profile on you?  You see I like to read other people’s receipts, it’s like a game for me…shopping docket profiling.  Maybe I have watched one episode too many of Criminal Minds, who knows but I enjoy it.

This morning I picked up a receipt and according to my profile the shopper was a single working female who earns a decent amount of money but not enough to be flippant with her purchase choices. She is health orientated and could possibly be a vegetarian with little time to prepare meals. She owns a cat that she loves dearly and she enjoys her alcoholic beverages to be mixers?  Oh and her home has a cockroach infestation.  How do I know this, well let me explain.

I say she is a female due to the ultra thin super absorbent winged pads and I know she is single because there are no male products or children oriented items.  I suggest she earns a decent wage because she has purchased rice snacks by weight at $17.98 a kg instead of $2.50 for 250g pre-packed.  She also purchased individual boxed dried fruit instead of the cheaper bulk pack that can be divided into smaller portions.  However she is not beyond purchasing marked down milk so she still tracks her spending to some degree.   I say that she is health oriented and possibly a vegetarian due to the physical no fat milk, 1kg of couscous, multiple tins of chick peas and not one single meat item on quite a long receipt.  She has little time to prepare meals due to the fact that she purchases tinned tomatoes already infused with garlic and herbs.  Quick and easy just like preparing couscous.  I know she owns a cat due to the numerous tins of cat food but the reason I know she loves her cat is because of the high quality high cost individual tin purchases.  Calamari and shrimp etc not a single generic brand.  As for her alcohol beverages being mixes, the four bottles of diet tonic water is a good clue.  Last but not least her cockroach problem.  Not only has she purchased surface spray but a six pack of cockroach bait lead me to believe that she has seen more than one or two of those ugly little critters running through her kitchen. Of course the longer the receipt the better the profile, so go ahead and give it a go!
