I didn't get why people just didn't hit one aisle of stuff instead of running around the store like idiots.

4/30/2012 2:13:28 PM

I'd just go to the meat department and clean out the steak and ribs.

4/30/2012 2:15:17 PM

you had to get the specialty marked items for more $$$...and i think you could only get 5 of one thing, otherwise people would just camp out at the diapers or some other expensive shit.

4/30/2012 2:15:33 PM

i think you got to keep whatever you put in the cart, so people tried to find a balance between winning and getting what they wanted.

i just remember people piling hams into their carts...lol

4/30/2012 2:16:16 PM

Everyone went straight for the meat (lol)...i would think the pharmacy aisle would be where all the expensive stuff was at

This.

I distinctly remember the announcer counting off items as contestants grabbed them.

4/30/2012 2:17:45 PM

I always critiqued the KB Toys shopping sprees as a kid. Bunch of idiots always loaded up on the cheap stuff; I always said they should go for the action figures and pogs to maximize the space/value in the cart.

4/30/2012 2:18:06 PM

I, too, enjoyed this show. I want to watch it now.

4/30/2012 2:19:17 PM

Okay, but even then, they would go to the meats and grab 5 hams and run away..why not just laod up on everything in the meat department?

4/30/2012 2:19:17 PM

I always loved watching Supermarket Sweep every night, and Shop Till You Drop came on before it, too.


Good times.

4/30/2012 2:19:34 PM

i would love a good game of pogs right now

i remember everyone used to just play with their "winnings" and would never wager actual pogs they liked, lol

4/30/2012 2:21:02 PM

If you buy Jimmy V golf balls at Kroger (kinda like the shamrocks and other stuff) you get entered to win a shopping spree.

I absolutely love going to watch the person that wins....They have a minute or two to grab like $2000 worth of groceries.

The smart ones always hit the meat department and then grab a grill or something like patio furniture lol

Yeah they should have loaded up on pseudoephedrine and then sold it to some meth heads for maximum profit.

4/30/2012 2:26:04 PM

I'd just hit the pharmacy area and grab all the tickets for anything containing pseudoephedrine and then head outside to pick up some propane tanks

I mean, turn that 2k shopping spree into 20k profit

4/30/2012 2:29:02 PM

Wasn't it just food?

4/30/2012 2:48:13 PM

always get the big gold ham that weighed 2 ounces

4/30/2012 3:16:18 PM

That's a tiny motherfucking ham if it only weighs 2 ounces.

[Edited on April 30, 2012 at 3:20 PM. Reason : like that mini giraffe in the DirectTV commercial]

4/30/2012 3:20:40 PM

lol im saying did you see how light it was as they threw them into the carts, they would almost float away like mylar ballons

4/30/2012 3:22:32 PM

DIAPERS AND CHEESE!!

I would definitely get 5 Mach 3s

4/30/2012 4:40:29 PM

i'd probably spend most of my time comparing nutritional information

4/30/2012 4:56:37 PM

that was a great show.

4/30/2012 8:49:14 PM

next time you're in line and you hear the beep...

beep beep beep

think of how much fun you could be having, on

SUPERMARKET SWEEP!

4/30/2012 8:52:50 PM

PAX

4/30/2012 8:55:09 PM

Watching the videos it seems like in addition to the 5 limit, they could only grab one item at a time, I always wondered why they didnt just run down an aisle with their arm out scooping shit off the shelves into the cart.

I would be a cocksucker and flip the other peoples carts over too.

4/30/2012 9:19:08 PM

you couldn't leave any products on the floor

dumbasses

4/30/2012 9:34:06 PM

anyone remember that Super Toy Run Sweepstakes? similar concept but you could load up a cart with as much shit at toys r us as you wanted. I mailed in a few times trying to do it haha

4/30/2012 9:50:39 PM

I always wanted to get a shitload of Super Nintendos and Mega Man games from that ^

4/30/2012 9:54:27 PM

do you guys know that meat has to be cooked relatively soon after purchase?

4/30/2012 10:26:11 PM

yeah, if you don't have a freezer

4/30/2012 10:31:26 PM

I remember Video Power

Not sure why anyone passed up the Neo Geo games. I think you got to submit a list of like three items you wanted if you won the maze thing at the end. It was sad seeing kids get like 3 Genesis games.

The smart ones got the Neo Geo.

Assorted street thugs.. bad guys.. assorted bad guys.

I wish they had been playing SMB. The guy woulda been like, "it seems to be some sort of turtle. Now there's a mushroom sliding across the ground. This looks like another mushroom, but I think it's a bad guy. Uh, there's sewer pipes and a block with a ? mark on it. Uh, more things that look like turtles."

And while we're talking about the dumbest of the dumb: http://youtu.be/R3AH9y_wkk0

They get the value of all the grocerys as their prize money, they don't get the actual groceries.
