After each contestant ran their sweep, the total value of groceries and bonus prizes in each player's cart was determined. In addition, five bonus prizes, coming in the form of pennants with dollar values ranging from $10 to $100 printed on them, were spread throughout the store. In the second part of the game, one contestant from each team, generally referred to as a "runner," went on a shopping spree through the market using the time accumulated in the first half of the game. The maximum time available was two minutes and thirty seconds (2:30), while the maximum time for a three-way tie is one minute and forty-five seconds (1:45). Four (sets of) items were played and each item revolved around a central household-related theme, such as items for washing, like laundry soap, to the items needed to created the associated "wash day" soup, a soup generally made at the same time washing was being done, like potatoes and gravy. The team who came to the closest won the item(s), and an additional 15 seconds to their time. Each player's totals were revealed followed by Bill Malone resorting to the automatic counter which displays the items' exact retail price. As host Bill Malone instructed the contestants to "Please checkout on your machines what you think is the exact retail price," the housewives would mentally calculate the price of all items shown and type the amount on their registers. In the first part of the game, the teams were shown a grocery item or combination of two closely associated grocery items and were asked to guess its retail price. Each team began with a base time of one minute and thirty seconds (1:30).

SUPERMARKET SWEEP UPDATE
I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Despite a sizable decline in the ratings, I think Supermarket Sweep still has a chance of being renewed, possibly for a summer run. The network’s revived lots of other game shows over the past several years but seems likely to start retiring some of them. Will ABC cancel or renew Supermarket Sweep for season three? This show was a moderate success in its first season and is based on a beloved format. Want to automatically receive updates about this TV show? Find out how Supermarket Sweep stacks up against other ABC TV shows. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Compared to season one, that’s down by 45% in the demo and down by 27% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). The second season of Supermarket Sweep averaged a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.32 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Teams compete for the chance to play in the “Super Sweep,” a race against the clock to find five products in order to win a big cash prize. Clad in iconic colorful sweatshirts, the teams compete against one another in back-to-back games using their grocery shopping skills and knowledge of food store merchandise.

A fast-paced competition, the show follows teams of two friends or relations.
