TPIR Pricing Game Question (re: Products)

T

Tim from Springfield IL

Something I've always wondered about whenever I've had a chance to see "The Price Is Right." And when they play pricing games with grocery and household items.

Does anyone know if contestants and/or the winners of the pricing games also "win" the products too? Obviously not perishable food due to spoilage, but at least a coupon for a complimentary purchase of the items used in the pricing game that can be redeemed at the contestant's nearest retailer.

Or are the products just used as "props" for the pricing games? Just curious.
 
No. Only the “small prizes” are won (or not as the case may be)—like in Plinko, Punch a Bunch, et al. That’s why the host refers to them often as being won. If the game is, let’s say Pick a Pair and you managed to figure out the mints and yams are the same price, you go home mintless and sans yams.
 
I can see where the confusion comes from. The contestants on the Grocery Game "buy" the products. I like seeing that old-fashioned cash register. I remember when that's what was used in stores.
