I must know, what non-egg eggs did you buy?

Glad I'm not the only one who has that question immediately on seeing the viz

It was an egg replacement product.

Probably “Just Egg,” egg replacement made of plants https://www.ju.st/

Probably egg whites

Maybe Goose, Ostrich or quail eggs.

but, caviar!

I was looking through the data and I was like, bro OP is definitely Indian, I don't know why I felt that way, 1) There were no meats and only vegetables. 2) In Supplements, there's B12 vitamin 3) Those spices mix remind me of India 4) but then my dumbass saw the Paratha, Roti and literally the word Indian sweets lol 5) Edit: And now I saw the snacks list..

I am Indian and my partner is Russian. We live in Germany, close to the Netherlands border. So our grocery shopping is international

And I saw Salzstangen and thought German, ha!

And Quark! Which sadly doesn’t seem to exist in the US.

Haha, I went to see the comments after looking at the Dairy section — your partner being Russian explains it all :)

Haha, I was sorta right. OP, did you count the prices of the items you purchased, I'd be interested on how much variations you see across different sections. Also, I think someone mentioned that you should've grouped by volume or mass, and not by frequency of items bought, wouldn't that give advantage to reoccurring smaller/faster ate items?

For example, we buy 10kgs rice but only twice a year. It's a big part of our diet but based on frequency it seems low.

Funny because my initial guess was Russian after seeing the breads and reading “smetana” - now it all makes sense!

I was thinking of OP is Dutch, cause 1) a lot of cheese and milk 2) hagelslag 3) jam But you make some very good points, idk if hagelslag is even available in India, but possibly there's truth in both of our observations... Only OP could help us

Seeing champignons and kakonibs, yeah, 99.9% confident OP is Dutch, or from Brussels in particular. Can't imagine finding such a variety of items in many places.

Apparently per a comment elsewhere in the thread they are Indian, but are living in Germany near the Dutch border.

Dang it. So it was the 0.1%.

I am pretty confident is Indian. Tomatos, onions, sesame oil, tofu, gram flour...and I can't see meat.

The fact that vla is mentioned i think you are right

I knew OP is Indian because they had Masala in spices, and no mention of the curry powder absurdity. Also, staples like tomatoes and onions.

And protein isn’t spelled correctly

I saw chunk of tomatoes and though they were Italians.

Imagine that being the first think you think about when seeing this graphic. 😒 And then being so wrong

Bro, I am also Indian (this shouldn't even matter but just thought you should know), so I sort of noticed some similar trends to my purchasing habits, plus it's a valid guess I'm trying to make. If you look at the snacks item list, I have every single item at my house too, maybe OP just lives with an Indian or just likes Indian food, it doesn't even matter, the whole point of OPs post is to showcase his grocery habits. There's not much to talk about the post except noticing these different subtle things. Edit: People also noticed Dutch items, so I think OP has some sort of relationship to Indian roots but might live where majority of people are also Dutch.

I want to know if beeries is a fruit or a beverage lol 😂

I wish my beeries counted as fruit

What kind of question is that? It's a beverage unless frozen then it's a snack.

Ahh yes nothing like ice beeries on a hot day.

Someone from r/embroidery is going to want to do this in French knots

I’m curious, how did you collect the data? Receipts and excel?

My partner uses the ledger accounting system to record item, cost and weight. It's in a text file.

I would really like to learn more about your method/system

I'm also very curious of the data gathering method. Could give us a fast walkthrough? May be an example of an entry and a short description of the ritual in which you guys fill the data would be enough.

It really needs a scale bar. What is the relative size? Number of purchases? Number of grams purchased? Money spent?

Yes I will take that into consideration. Since I'm not able to edit this post somehow. Thanks

This visualization for me would be like 50% chips and then everything else in equal %s.

Right? Their shopping made me feel really bad about my choices lol.

Looks amazing. And, also, beans? Legumes? It’s kinda freaking me out that there’s no mention of legumes outside of hummus. Or did I just not see it? And, yes, I know tofu is a bean, but what about the beans??

Same. Also a vegetarian like OP, but I rely heavily on beans, split peas, lentils, etc to balance my diet. Not seeing that represented here.

We bulk buy chickpeas and dried beans. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up well since I represented how often we buy something.

Ahhh, ok, got it! Makes sense.

I like fish but i need to try F I S H.

As an American I was really confused not seeing half of this filled with meat.

If I went to a viz and there was no meat, I'd say, "Yo! Goober! Where's the meat?"

My biggest section is gonna be Nutty Bars, (followed closely by coffee.) ¯|_(ツ)_|¯

Frequency isn't a super useful metric there. Value or mass would be a better variable to track.

This was my first attempt at data visualization and im still learning. I have the mass and money spent data. I will include it. Thanks

What program is this made in please?

I used rawgraphs and the circle packing graph.

Ya I was hoping this was based on $$ spent!

Unless, of course, you're wanting to view frequency then it's a pretty useful metric.

I'm trying to make out the main source of carbs but I don't really see many of them.

We eat a variety of grains. Rice, pasta, oats, buckwheat.

Yeah I see. It's just difficult to imagine what amount it is. It seems so little overall

I love this! What did you make it in?

I used rawgraphs for making the graph and continued in illustrator.

Thanks. Never heard of rawgraphs.

Surely there is a less trypophobic way to present this information

Why not include eggs with proteins? Seems like a main source of protein in your diet.

You might want to update your knowledge on what protein is and where it comes from

What are you arguing towards? That it’s fine being in its own category in this infograph (fair enough), or that it’s *not* a source of protein? Did you think protein can only come from beef, chicken, pork, fish? It’s well known that eggs are a source of protein, and a great source of it too for its size and calories. Eggs contain a load of different amino acids (the building blocks of protein) *just like meat does*. A single egg gives ~10% of the daily intake of protein for the average adult. 1 serving of egg is 2 eggs so 20% of RDI is a *great* source, considering they’re so small! An egg‘s protein component is the highest of the 3 macronutrients at an average of (based on weight) 12.6% (followed by fats at 9% and carbs at 0.7%), or 8.5% based on calories. What did you think eggs are? Milk, like so many dumb people who think egg is diary? Are there better, richer sources of protein? Sure. But we’re not grading food on a bell curve.

Eggs are not a source a protein because it’s not a chicken yet. Obviously. It only becomes protein when it’s an adult.

It has to become a teinager first

A teenegger

What are you going on about hahah. I was suggesting that this person thinking that eggs is the main protein source in the graph is insane. There are tons of other protein sources in other categories. Literally everything edible contains protein. There is like seven times more protein than in eggs in seitan alone. Eggs, dairy or meat are not the best sources for protein, not even close. You went off quick and to the wrong tracks

When Gaston was a lad he ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. Large in terms of muscle.

Tomatoes are in vegetables !

Yes, because from a culinary nomenclature tomatoes are vegetables. But also they eat a lot of eggplant, I’m surprised it’s so far up the list.

Yup definitely don't put them in a fruit salad

I see your milk and cookie budget is quite high... Santa Clause!

Your partner seems intense

I like the equal distribution of coffee, tea, and spirits

compared by costs? or weight or mass or amount ?

I call fake. I'm not able to see oven chips anywhere, let alone a circle twice the size of the second largest one

Tomatoes, onions, and bread. I see where this is going.

How was the data collected? Do you save every receipt? Use ocr? Manual data entry upon getting back from the store?

It's manual data entry.

Nice. Hopefully the prices were logged as well. Would be interesting to see the weights not by volume but by cost. I’m going to start keeping better track of our grocery bills. Will probably try to use some form of ocr instead of manual though.

How is "salt" the biggest circle in spices when salt is so inexpensive? Genuinely curious.

Size represents purchase frequency, not price

Thank you for the clarification!!!

How did you make this visualization?

Maybe I missed a comment on this but what's thr little circle next to eggs? Quails eggs?

Just Egg (a plant based egg replacement)

Interesting that milk and cheese are two large, round almost-symmetrical … circles.

Did you make this with Gephy?

This is neat. Makes me want to check out a few things. Where are you from?

That's a weird petri dish, what kind of bacteria is this again?

Yummy! What are beeries? They sound sudsy and delicious!

Nice! Did you make this visualization on Tableau?

I really appreciate thinking of pasta as it’s own section of the food pyramid (I know this isn’t really what you did but I like it)

This looks like a Petri dish 😳

Why is honey in its own separate category? 'Spreads' is *right there*

Where is the hotpocket circle?

Please enlighten me, I'm the mushroom section the most bought produce was "champignon", the literal French word for "mushroom". Can you tell us more in detail what variety of mushroom?

These were the white or brown button mushrooms or portabellos. In Germany, they are just called champignon.

Avocado is a fruit but not tomatoes, cucumber or bell pepper? 🤨

Amazing what did you use to capture the data? Don't see meat.. I guess you are vegetarian

I can't decide which I love more: "Fish (fish)" or "Eggs (eggs)"

But what’s the small dot under eggs that’s not eggs?

I like how it looks like a Petri dish

Not a big fan of potatoes huh? Would probably be my largest circle.

Is this by weight or cost

I want to come live with you. Your diet sounds delicious!

Useless graphic, pretty but not telegraphic.

Do you even stay hydrated?

We drink tap water.

Wait a minute... Astroglide isn't groceries!!

This is great, especially for a first try. Protein seems to have misplaced it's n, though, but that's nitpicking. Fascinating. Any reasoning behind the color choices? They seem kinda random.

You got me there. Rawgraphs gave a default color gradient. But I "tried" to change the colors and selected them randomly. I am learning how to work with a color palette.

Only buy avocado, coconut and olive oil

Looks a little like a Petri dish

Beeries is a fruit now, you've seen it here first! Will refer to this as evidence. Thank you very much.

Did you have to manually go through every receipt ad enter it?!

Yes. The data was entered manually. My partner has such data for 11 years.

Wow, that’s a lot of work. But very cool!

So you kept a log of all the groceries y'all did for 5 years?

bubble graphs..; my favorite ones... they're so explicit... 😍

I literally cannot imagine a life without meat. I believe in being veg heavy, but no meat ever is just wild to me.

How does one procure this data? Do you just tally it up and enter in a spread sheet? Is there a website?

Thank you for sharing this! It was fun to look through. As others have mentioned, I'd love to see this by weight. Just in case you want more English translations: Nektarinen - nectarines; Beeries - berries; Sultanines - fresh are white grapes, dried are golden raisins; Salzstangen - pretzel sticks, pretzels; Kakao - hot chocolate, hot cocoa; Soya - soy sauce; Hagelslag - chocolate sprinkles; Raps - canola

you don't have to ask ... they'll tell you

Yall are some tree hugging veggies huh

Is your partner, by chance, German?

Not a big fan of protein eh?

Only a vegan would do this.

There is a large portion of the graph that reads "dairy".

Where is the meat you psychopath?

Cucumbers are botanically fruits

Tomato, bell peppers, zucchini, aubergine, squash, cucumber, jackfruit are all fruits. Corn is a grain.

Yes, those are all fruits, but colloquially they are vegetables. Nobody likes people like you. If someone offered anyone a fruit basket and they came out with tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and cucumber. Instead of peaches, strawberries, melons, and grapes… What would literally everyone’s reaction be? And they do have corn in the grain section.

how bout a NSFW tag.. Trypophobia triggers

Sorry. I didn't think about it
