The Ultimate Price is Right Strategy Guide: Hi Lo

Hi Lo

Rules
A prize is shown as are 6 grocery products. The contestant wins the prize if they select the 3 most expensive grocery products.
Random fact
This game used to be wheeled out on to the stage and the grocery items described before the main prize was revealed  This changed in 2008 to a standard reveal of the main prize first and then the game.
Win-loss record
  • Actual (seasons 29-46): 87-122 (41.63%)
  • What it would be by random chance: 1/20 (5%)

How often was product X one of the 3 highest priced products (seasons 40-46)?
  • 1 (left most product): 31 playings (64.58%)
  • 2: 16 playings (33.33%)
  • 3: 25 playings (52.08%)
  • 4: 25 playings (52.08%)
  • 5: 26 playings (54.17%)
  • 6 (right most product): 21 playings (43.75%)
Strategy
"Pick the endpoints" is only half true here, as the product on the far right is correct the 2nd-least amount, but the product on the far left is correct the most often. So if you're not sure, pick that one. Besides that, know the prices.
