Might be a 'man' thing but I never look at a till receipt, goes straight in the bin when leaving the shop.

That is my wife's argument Pollylocks :)
 
My husband also scrutinises the till receipts and leaves them lying all over the kitchen worktops, so I throw them away. Woe betide me if he hasn't finished with them!!

That's what happens in our household too.....only I'm the one who leaves them lying around all over the place and he's the one who throws them away when I haven't finished with them!

I realised Tesco were trying to improve my health earlier this when I went to buy some Hot-X buns. No, they were no longer doing wholemeal ones (Sainsbury's did) but they were now doing X-buns filled with either golden syrup or chocolate as well as plain white flour ones. I assume the syrup and chocolate were low sugar......

Strange as it might seem golden syrup or chocolate could actually be lower in sugar, especially glucose, than flour.

I was in a band with a guitarist years ago who was like that....
His household was organised to the point of OCD..
Oh the chaos we left in our wake after a "sleepover" when he woke to find his extensive alphabetically categorised CD collection defiled, & the cleaning rota on his kitchen door looking like a Chanel 5 TV guide....

And the government would then probably add another 5p 'bag tax' on receipts because we're using too much paper.

When this was tried in the past, as the number of free bags at checkouts reduced, sales of bin liner bags increased, because many people recycle their plastic shopping bags as bin liners.

In africa, they recycle them into soccer balls:
