Rules
Five grocery products are shown as are three platforms with the amounts $0-$2.99, $3-$5.99, and $6+ written on them. The contestant has 10 seconds to move the grocery products on to the correct platforms based on their prices. If they are right, they win $20,000. If they are wrong, the contestant can make changes, but the $20,000 starts counting down to $0. The contestant wins however much money is showing on the money meter when they have the groceries in the correct positions.

Strategy
Mostly know the prices, but a couple of tips can help you here:
- DO NOT LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE!! You need to make as many guesses as you can; looking at the audience only slows you down.
- There is always at least one item on each platform. Do not leave any platforms empty.
- The combinations where one platform has 3 products are far less frequently correct than the ones where no platform has more than 2 products. Don't go for a 3/1/1, 1/3/1, or 1/1/3 combination unless you're reasonably sure of the three products that you think are in the same range.
