Supermarket Sweep

Supermarket Sweep is a game show where teams of two contestants race through a supermarket, collecting items to fill their shopping carts. The goal is to accumulate the highest possible total value in groceries within a timed shopping spree. The accumulated groceries are then used in a final round where contestants answer trivia questions to win additional time and potentially a grand prize.
