Some of you may remember my first receipt, which was a number of items bought in such a way as to create a Christmas tree. This is my next piece. What I like about this one is I went into ASDA not knowing whether what I wanted to do was even possible. But after finding an obscure toy (while looking for something Zebra-themed) it all fell into place.

  1. What’s your best alphabetical buy? What’s your worst?

  3. Are you going to do it again, but with the item values in ascending numerical value too?

  5. Did you self scan them through in order, or put them on a conveyor belt for the cashier?

  6. I’m very skeptical that a receipt is so vague about what items are. I declare a witchhunt.

  7. I tried to do the same thing but stopped at T – I ran out of Thyme

  8. You’re a very very odd person. We’d get on well.

  9. Fucking rinsed on that usb stick son, should have got an umbrella.

  10. Did you perform tests to ensure they’d appear correctly?

  11. Did you go through a self-checkout, or did you go through a manned checkout and have to carefully lay the items out on the conveyor in the right order?

    If the latter, did you tell the checkout operator what you were doing so that they didn’t screw it up by scanning things in a different order?

  16. Do you even own an Xbox, or was that the only X thing you could find?

  17. How are the names so short?

    I get Bananas showing up like that but surely Mayonnaise or Quiche would have longer names?

  18. A tip of the cap for an impressive (if somewhat pointless) accomplishment!

    From a practical perspective, how could you be sure – ahead of time – that the items were going to show up on the receipt as they did? I mean, did you know it was going to say “Jam”, rather than “Strawberry Jam”? And “Nuts”, rather than “Mixed Nuts” or “Cashews & Almonds”. And I can imagine this took quite a lot of sorting.

  19. What would you have done if the last item was listed simply as “Toy”?

  22. Missed the chance to get the Frame instead of Flour!

  25. I hope that glass protects against UV, otherwise youll have a framed blank piece of paper in 6 months.
