Grocery receipt to CSV

Turn reviewed grocery receipts into an item-level CSV.

Radish exports one CSV named radish-purchase-history-v1.csv from the grocery receipts you review and save. The file contains one row per item, plus its receipt, store, date, category, spending choice, raw receipt text, and USD amounts.

Last updated: August 15, 2026.

30 documented fields One row per item You choose the destination
Get Radish for iPhone Inspect the CSV example

Free to download. Review and save one receipt before choosing a monthly or yearly plan for continued use. Requires iOS 18 or later. Optimized for English-language US grocery receipts and USD totals. Manual entry remains available.

The example contains invented sample data—no personal receipt or household information.

Direct answer

Yes—Radish exports reviewed grocery history as structured CSV rows.

Every saved item becomes a row with receipt context, reviewed item details, category, Essential, Optional, or Excluded choice, and exact two-decimal USD amounts. A saved receipt with no item rows still receives one receipt-only row.

The export is explicit: open Settings → Data export, prepare the file, then choose a destination in the iOS share sheet.

Safe example

Inspect a synthetic receipt before installing.

The example uses the current 30-column v1 schema with three invented items from “Sample Market.” Its $12.50 subtotal plus $0.50 tax equals the $13.00 receipt total.

What the preview omits: the download also includes receipt IDs, date, store, currency, receipt totals, raw receipt text, taxonomy version, and allocation policy. It contains no receipt photo.

From receipt to file

Review first. Export second.

  1. 1
    Add a receipt.

    After permission, scan up to four receipt photos through Radish’s disclosed processing service—or enter the receipt by hand.

  2. 2
    Correct the draft.

    Review the store, date, total, item names, raw text, prices, categories, and household choices.

  3. 3
    Save the record.

    Only confirmed receipts become part of the saved purchase history that the export reads.

  4. 4
    Choose a destination.

    Open Settings → Data export → Export purchase history (CSV), then use the iOS share sheet.

Exact v1 contract

All 30 CSV columns, in export order.

The app emits UTF-8 CSV with a header row, CRLF line endings, standard comma-and-quote escaping, and protection against spreadsheet-formula prefixes in text fields. The format follows the common RFC 4180 CSV conventions.

User-controlled export

Nothing leaves the export screen until you choose where it goes.

The app prepares the CSV only after you open Data export. The iOS system share sheet is the handoff point; after you select a destination, that destination’s privacy, security, and retention rules apply.

The CSV contains purchase details. Treat it as private household data, review the destination, and remove copies you no longer need. Read the Radish Privacy Policy for the separate saved-data, household-sync, and receipt-processing boundaries.

Current limits

What the grocery receipt CSV is—and is not.

  • The current export creates one file for the complete saved history, not one selected receipt.
  • It contains structured receipt and item fields, not receipt image files.
  • It is a readable purchase-history export, not a Radish backup or restore file.
  • It does not update a spreadsheet in the background. You choose a destination each time you export.
  • Recognition and category proposals can be wrong, so review remains part of the workflow.
  • The current v1 product boundary is iPhone, English-first, US grocery receipts, USD, and two decimal places.
  • The file is not tax, legal, financial, or accounting advice.

Grocery receipt to CSV FAQ

These answers describe the current complete-history CSV export.

Can Radish turn a grocery receipt into CSV?

Yes, after you review and save the receipt. Radish exports the complete saved purchase history as one item-level CSV, rather than exporting only one selected receipt.

Does the CSV include individual grocery items?

Yes. Each saved item becomes a row with its name, raw receipt text, category, spending choice, amount, and related receipt fields.

Does the CSV include receipt photos?

No. The CSV contains structured receipt and item fields, not image files.

Can I export only one receipt?

No. The current export creates one file for the complete saved purchase history.

Can I import the CSV back into Radish?

No. The CSV is independently readable, but it is not a Radish backup or restore file.

Is the CSV a tax or accounting report?

No. It is a human-readable purchase-history export, not tax, legal, financial, or accounting advice.

Is receipt scanning required before export?

No. You can enter a receipt by hand, review it, and save it. Manual entry remains available without granting receipt-scanning permission.
