ABC Version
Three teams competed. Each team began with a base time of one minute and 30 seconds. In the first part of the game, the teams were shown a grocery item and were asked to guess its retail price. The team who came the closest won the item and an additional 15 seconds to their time. Four items were played.
In the second part of the game, one contestant from each team went on a shopping spree through the market, using the time accumulated in the first half of the game. Bonus items worth $10-$100 were also spread throughout the store. After all contestants ran their sweep, the team with the highest total in groceries, bonus prizes and other items won the right to return to the show and play in the next game. All teams kept the items they picked up.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
