# Format: description,Subcategory

# DON'T: add a header row — the parser treats every non-# line as data
# DON'T: use no quotes around the words
# DO: use raw receipt abbreviations as they appear
# DO: use the shortest unique prefix that unambiguously identifies the product category
# tab-separated is accepted in case your spreadsheet exports that way 

# Use the brand name alone when you buy many variants: PARMALAT, BARILLA, MULINO BIANCO
# The RAG system uses semantic embedding similarity, not exact matching — so, for example, `PARMALAT` alone is enough. 
# The embedding model understands that `PARMALAT B12 1.5L` is semantically close to `PARMALAT`. You don't need to enumerate every variant.

# Use the generic Italian noun when brandless: LATTE, PANE, UOVA, POMODORI
