The game was played between three teams of two related individuals, such as a parent and child, spouses, siblings, or best friends, initially called to play by an object they were holding. The gameplay of the Lifetime/PAX version of Supermarket Sweep consisted of three segments: the question round, the Big Sweep, and the Bonus Sweep. Teams remained on the show until they were defeated or until they reached the winnings cap of $20,000. All teams kept every item they picked up, with the team with the highest total in groceries, bonus prizes and other items winning the right to return to the show and play in the next game. Bonus items worth $10 to $100 were also spread throughout the store. In the second round of the game, the contestant from each team who did not play the first round went on a shopping spree through the market, using the time accumulated.
The team who came the closest won the item and an additional 15 seconds were added to their time. In the first round of the game, one contestant from each team was shown a grocery item and asked to guess its retail price. Each team began with a base time of 1 minute and 30 seconds. The 2020 version was hosted by Leslie Jones and narrated by Tahir Moore. The announcer was Johnny Gilbert from 1990 to 1995 and again from April to June 2000, with Randy West taking over for Gilbert in July 2000 and continuing for the rest of the series.
