Remember crop tops and neon windbreakers? How about Hi-C and Lunchables for every meal? (See all the snacks that will make you feel like a kid again.) From fashion to food, there’s plenty to be nostalgic about from the ’90s.
For anyone who loved TV in the 1990s, we have an exciting announcement. Supermarket Sweep, the most iconic grocery shopping/game show combo, is streaming right now. This is where to watch!
It’s a Blast from the Past
Seriously, it’s almost too good to be true—but true, it most certainly is. If you’re a ’90s kid looking to relive your childhood, 15 episodes from the 1993 season of this 20-minute game show are streaming now. You can watch ’em one at a time, or sit down for seven hours and binge through the whole thing. (If you choose the latter option, you’re gonna need some truly epic snacks.) And then, when you’re done with that, you can move on to Julia Child’s The French Chef.
If Supermarket Sweep is a totally new title to you, here’s how it works: Contestants start with a base amount of time to run through a grocery store and add items to a shopping cart. Before they set off on their shopping spree, they can answer trivia questions to raise the amount of time they’re allotted.
Then, once the Q&A is done, they run through the aisles, adding as many high-priced items to their cart as possible. Whoever has the most expensive total at the end is the winner! The show aired on Lifetime in the ’90s, although it started on ABC in the ’60s. There’s even an ABC reboot in the works, with SNL alum Leslie Jones as the host.
Where Can I Watch?
15 episodes of Supermarket Sweep are available on Netflix, so if you’re a subscriber there, you’re good to start watching! Another platform also offers more than 50 episodes from the 1991 and 2000 seasons: Amazon Prime.
No matter where you choose to watch, you’re sure to get that familiar nostalgia—so you should totally pair your marathon with one of these recipes from the ’90s.
Crunchy Asian Chicken Salad
I love their crunchy, citrusy salad so much that once I made my husband drive an hour to the nearest Applebee's restaurant just so I could eat it! It was time to come up with my own version. I'm completely happy with the results—and my husband is, too! Find more of my recipes at my blog, mandysrecipeboxblog.com. —Mandy Bird, Holbrook, Idaho
Pomegranate Cosmo
Every soiree needs a signature drink. Sugar dresses up this simple cosmo that lets you enjoy a cozy evening with friends and still shake things up. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Homemade Pizza Rolls
This is my husband's version of store-bought pizza rolls, and our family loves them. Although they take some time to make, they freeze well. So when we're through, we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor for a long time! —Julie Gaines, Normal, Illinois
Barbecued Chicken Pizzas
So fast and so easy with refrigerated pizza crust, these saucy, smoky pizzas make quick fans with their rustic, hot-off-the-grill flavor. They're perfect for impromptu cookouts and summer dinners on the patio. —Alicia Trevithick, Temecula, California
Homemade Fish Sticks
I am a nutritionist and needed a healthy fish fix. Moist inside and crunchy outside, these are great with oven fries or roasted veggies and low-fat homemade tartar sauce. —Jennifer Rowland, Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Cheeseburger Pockets
Ground beef is my favorite meat to cook with because it's so versatile, flavorful and economical. Refrigerated biscuits save you the trouble of making dough from scratch. —Pat Chambless, Crowder, Oklahoma
Chocolate Molten Cakes
Be prepared to swoon once you dip into this indulgent flourless cake and warm chocolate oozes from its center. This is Kristin Page’s favorite dessert on the menu at La Boucherie. Try it, and you’ll understand why.
Tropical Fusion Salad with Spicy Tortilla Ribbons
Fresh fruits and veggies pair up for a fantastic summer salad that's savory, sweet and spicy all at once. Make the tortilla strips with your pizza cutter—so easy! —Jennifer Fisher, Austin, Texas
Chocolate-Raspberry Creme Brulee
Just when I thought nothing could beat the specialness of creme brulee, I created this decadent version that stars rich chocolate and sweet raspberries. Cracking through the top reveals a smooth and rich custard everyone enjoys. —Jan Valdez, Chicago, Illinois
Marinated Skirt Steak & Pepper Fajitas
These are the best fajitas ever, and a much healthier version of the typically pan-fried fajitas you find in restaurants. I also like to serve them in flatbreads instead of tortillas. —Erin Michniacki, Manhattan, Kansas
Chocolate-Hazelnut Butter
Store varieties of chocolate-hazelnut butter just can’t compete with the homemade kind. Slather it on everything from toast and pretzels to banana chunks and shortbread cookies. —Crystal Jo Bruns, Iliff, Colorado
Chicken Caesar Salad
My Caesar with grilled chicken is a healthier alternative to heavy meat and potatoes dishes. After grilling the kabobs, we serve them family style. —Melissa Adams, Tooele, Utah
Glazed Doughnut Holes
Here's a simple recipe to create a colorful and fun breakfast (or snack!). For the glaze, use any type of juice you like. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Veggie Bean Burgers
Even though the preparation for this meal seems time-consuming on a busy night, it's so worth it. The recipe will leave you with plenty of leftovers so you won't have to do any cooking the next night. These also beat the veggie burgers from the freezer section. —Amber Massey, Argyle, Texas
S'mookies
S'mores are one of my favorite desserts. I wanted to create a cookie to replace the graham cracker—that's when my s'mookie was born. Just as delicious as the classic.—Maria Davis, Hermosa Beach, California
Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza
String cheese is the secret to success for this popular stuffed-crust pizza. Prebaking the crust crust before you add the toppings assures that the cheese inside will melt completely.—Terri Gonzalez, Roswell, New Mexico
Funnel Cakes
This funnel cake recipe is simpler to make than doughnuts, and it's just as good. Funnel cakes have been a favorite of ours since we came across them living in the Ozarks. —Mary Faith Yoder, Unity, Wisconsin
Cherry Tomato & Basil Focaccia
When I had 80 pounds of tomatoes, I got creative incorporating them into meals. Sometimes I slice this loaf into squares to make sandwiches with fresh mozzarella cheese and deli meats. —Katie Ferrier, Houston, Texas
Coconut Lover's Frappe
I love frozen beverages, so I wanted to create one similar to those in coffee shops but without coffee as an ingredient. When I drink this frosty treat it's as good as any specialty shop drink but without the hassle or the cost. —Emily Semmelrock, Jewett City, Connecticut
Grilled Goat Cheese & Arugula Sandwiches
To create a more “grown-up” grilled cheese sandwich, I threw in tangy goat cheese and peppery arugula. I enjoy a similar combination on pizza, and it worked here, too! —Jess Apfe, Berkeley, California
Mini Chocolate Wafer Cakes
I first made these cakes for a friend when I lived in the dorms at college and had no access to appliances. Little did I know I would be making them 20 years later for my children! —Lara Pennell, Mauldin, South Carolina
Garlicky Cheddar Cheese Bisque
I came up with a cheddar cheese soup a while ago and decided to give it a boost with a variety of root vegetables. Crushed pita chips and fresh parsley make fun garnishes. —Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania
Blackberry Frozen Yogurt
You could also use boysenberries, raspberries or strawberries for this delicious dessert. — Rebecca Baird, Salt Lake City, Utah
Peach Smoothie
Whip up this creamy concoction as a refreshing and nutritious snack or a quick chilled breakfast. Because you can use frozen fruit, you don't have to wait until peaches are in season to enjoy this delicious smoothie. —Martha Polasek, Markham, TexasThe post ‘Supermarket Sweep’ Is Now on Netflix, and We’re Living in the ’90s Again appeared first on Taste of Home.
