In the final days of Marcus Aurelius' reign, the aging emperor arouses his son Commodus' anger when he makes known his wish that Maximus be his successor. Power-hungry Commodus kills his father and orders the death of Maximus. But the latter flees and hides his identity by becoming slave and a gladiator. Eventually, Maximus journeys back to Rome to confront his archrival. pretty neat eh? better than walmart blah blah

someone has way to much time on their hands....I thought I needed a JOB.

Personally I prefer Target. Our Wal*Mart is a hell of misbehaving kids and rude drivers. But sometimes nowhere else will do when you have certain needs.

All you who criticise, remember: be very careful not to saw away the branch you’re sat on.

(Submitted by B.J.)

At least you bought your cards the day before Mother's Day. I have a receipt from Sunday!

(Submitted by playa Chris)

Sales tax of only 6.5% ? I like it! Cool web concept.... (CA,USA).

(Submitted by Chris)

Why two cards? Do you have two mothers? Or maybe one for this year and one for next?

(Submitted by kaykat)

Chris, DUH he has a mother and a mother-in-law or a mother and a grandmother...use the gray matter...

(Submitted by kaykat)

Wait, chris, i have the solution, one card is for his wife cause in the first Wal- Mart receipt thing he was buying a crib...

Wal Mart makes some slammin' fried chicken.

Which is more interesting, the recipts or the commentary?

My dear idiots: The guy obviously has a baby - if you ever got up from your computers you'd probably know that people actually have relationships, get married, and make babies. You'd also learn about the cleaning products your mother buys to clean up after you while you live in her basement.

I've never seen anyone sell a garage at a garage sale. I've never seen anyone sell a yard at a yard sale and I've never seen them sell a wall at wal*mart.

To buy a mother's day card is to say to one's mother, "Hey Mom, you did such a poor job raising me, I can't even contrive a few words to convey what little feeling I have for you that would rival the one size fits all Hallmark empty sentimentality printed on recycled newspaper, grocery bags, and god knows what, which, by the way, only costs about .003 cents to manufacture, but costs $1.90 at any neighborhood Wal Mart, so not only are you unable to articulate any true feelings, much less, perhaps feel, them, you have no sense of the value of a hard earned dollar, so your momma really failed to teach you ANYTHING about home economics eather" But hey, she's just gonna throw it away anyway. Like momma, like son.

This is the best!!! I am from the deep south but live in NYC now and before that I was living in Cambridge UK....Have you any idea how horrible it is to be Wal-Martless in the big city???? And, God, those poor Brits...jeeze they need a K-mart, a Wal-Mart something...it's really quite sad.

(Submitted by no-name)

Found this site through a favorite radio station arrow93.7. It was hilarious!!! I noticed you weren't buying any baby formula. So you must have breast fed! OUCH!

(Submitted by James)

Derek.. It is interesting to have an insight into your life. A suggestion... maybe you could include a breif description of the items as listed. Being from Australia, I dont understand what some of these things are from the Wal-Mart code. IE: Counter Card = Mothersday greeting card. You may be lost but you have found yourself. -James 9Sydney, Australia)

Walmart has some attractive cashiers. Especially the ones that have teeeth!

WAL*MART, WAL*MART THAT'S MY STORE I SHOP THERE BECAUSE I'M POOR

(Submitted by jeb)

Now come on Vikki! I work about 50 hours a week and have never accomplished something so great as this site. Have you seen the movie "Office Space"? A job isn't the greatest on earth!

(Submitted by jeb)

Uh, Duh, I'm sorry! That last message is actually for jaw. I got a little confused! Been staring at this computer screen trying to look busy too long!

(Submitted by casondra)

i am so surprised that you have all of these reciepts. i am glad that you don't shop at the wal-mart that i work at.

I've never seen such an effective medium for cathartic personal reflection. Pretty soon all the pretty people will show up and we'll be waiting in line.

I wonder if WalMarts here in Canada are different than the ones in the US... Is the decor the same? Are the products the same because they advertise that they use quality Canadian products...

(Submitted by April W.)

Derek, today I was cleaning out my junk drawer and I came across a handful of Wal Mart receipts....I thought of you and laughed! I think your sight is great...please keep me laughing!

I thought I had a lot of time on my hands! This has got me beat all down hollow. I will think of this guy rvery time I go to Wal-Mart from now own. Keep up the good work. Crazy site ;-)

(Submitted by Boogie&Goober)

I think the site is great. My husband seems to be hooked too. I just hope you haven't awakened the packrat in him. We have enough newspapers and magazines lying around that "can't be thrown out yet" that I don't think I could handle his collection of WalMart receipts....

(Submitted by salla)

I can see this site six months from now showing up in a Wal-Mart commercial.................... ........

(Submitted by well)

i'm hoping the managers listed on these receipts find this site. probably scare them silly...

(Submitted by AuntieTiss)

I am fascinated! My tax records aren't this complete. I am hoping to get you to be my c.p.a. one day. Maybe you could send me an old toaster box if nothing else. I throw everything away. It's nice to see how the other half lives.

(Submitted by MartinaGoo)

Derek - rock and roll - I love your site - congrats on making the yahoo list - thats how i found you. what has it done to your stats? tripled them? I have a web obsession as well http://www.oozinggoo.com which peeps are always giving me hell about - please stop by: Oozing Goo, the Lava Lamp Syndicate.

(Submitted by j)

I was just wondering what is the total of how much you have spent total? i work at walmart and your site is too funny.

(Submitted by richy)

this is seriously the most interestingly ridiculous thing that i have ever seen. the neat thing is that the web page owner shows some very consistent behavior.

(Submitted by Larissa)

Hey G-Girl ... go look at the third receipt!!! Find a message by Marco ... he had even more time on his hands than our dear friend Derek here <grin>

(Submitted by Jamaika)

Dereck Just love your site. I myself also save every recipt from everything I have bought since I was married. Nov 23, 1993. They are all in a Giant truck marked Money spend on marriage LOL

(Submitted by Red)

Hey markmark.... let me try to explain to you what a Wal- Mart is. Wal-Mart is the ULTIMATE store to shop in! Where else can one go and in a three hour timespan get your eyes checked and order new glasses, get your hair cut, go to the bank, order a bouquet of flowers and a specialty cake, get your cars oil changed, purchase a new outfit and get your weeks worth of groceries? And it's all in one convenient location... WAL-MART! By the way... I am an Associate of Wal-Mart and work at the Home Office.

Do you always visit the same Wal-MArt??? We have like our of them that are equally convenient to visit and we like to rotate here in MN.

(Submitted by Rhoda)

And My husband says I am the only one who lives at Wally World. You gave me a smile today. Thanks. You need to learn to COMP. prices though.

(Submitted by Jen)

As an employee of Wal-Mart, I think that your REALLY weird. Why don't you try and get a job there??? At least you would get an employee discount since you seem to love it so much?????

This was too much fun! I just spent 15 minutes laughing. I too spend way to much time on the computer and now I'm afraid it's going to get worse!

(Submitted by icantsleep)

Ha Ha. Two cards huh. One for mother and one for Darryl? What happened this time? Did you spill some of that dew on her? You know you can't go on living this double life much longer. Sooner or later Matt will catch on to you.

(Submitted by Elvis)

How many Wal-Mart store do you have in your area I noticed that you buy mainly from two particular stores one in--218 areaa code (MN) N Minnesota-- and the other in-- 701 area code (ND)North Dakota-- do you have two houses or something. Could you shed somelight on this subject.

(Submitted by polack)

Are any other veteran WalMart Reciept viewers getting annoyed at the newbies?

(Submitted by wow)

the regular viewers should start a 12 step program, call it, like, receipt peepers anonymous or something. i'd join, but i can't dance, regardless of step numbers... :)

Today's the 23rd of May. Why the long interval between WalMart visits? Hope you plan on giving them your continued patronage.

Sorry Pollack ,another newbie here.

(Submitted by Chiquita)

Aaawwwww... Woolco... you poor thing. What happened?

(Submitted by Ju-Ju)

I don't know about the rest of you, but Wally World is one place I can be sure to fart at least 3 times while I am there.

(Submitted by Welfare Recipient)

Polack, get over it. Nothing lasts forever. Your annoyance be darned.

(Submitted by palandor)

that's the walmarts here in dayton. tiz why i love dayton; one of the few places i know of that one can be an ass in a parking lot or store and be just like everyone else on a daily basis. :-) target is too high-class; it defies the essence of an "everything" store like walmart. -palandor vikki wrote: Personally I prefer Target.

Polak: F*ck yes!!! Hey newbies. Load the full list. Start at Nov 17, 1996 and learn about the man behind the website. Quit asking for answers to questions that were answered years ago!

(Submitted by Enter the Dood)

Todally, dood. I mean, the mystery of the two mothers day cards is a full on mystery, cause the dood left his wife some time back, dood, and hence no more dri-boms, or whatever, and dood, he wouldn't still be buying a moms day card for his mom in law, would he, dood, unless like he got on really well with her, dood, and that sounds a bit too hard to believe from the man who started out buying Scott's Soil. Dood.

why the heck is everyone calling it wally world? i guess its some nickname, but i have never heard of it. where do they call walmart that??? i'm in new york

(Submitted by someone who knows geography)

Even without reading the rest of Derek's site I was able to figure out that the two Wal*Marts Derek frequents are relatively close to each other. Have some of you never looked at a map?

(Submitted by WalFixture)

Wally World is where Clark (Chevy Chase) took his family in the original Vacation movie. It had closed early, had jillions of parking spaces, overzealous security cop wannabes and offered no real services, hence the resemblance.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO KMART?

(Submitted by Tim Wolford )

Hallmark just wants to maximize on their profits. They distribute the traditional holiday cards into the giant retail stores. Look at the price! Why didn't he buy a the .99 card. He could have made a consumer surplus, of about $ 1.50 in US currency. If he bought a regular cheap card. However, his mother still loves him for remembering mothers day.
