The prices on the Price Is Right have always been completely different than what you find at your local store. They pick specific odd sizes and items to make it difficult.

After they got cleaned out by a couple that figured out where the prices came from and got everything.

​

I would argue that the Price Is Right is the same level of difficulty or maybe even easier now with inflation as people may finally guess prices high enough to be close.

EDIT:

I haven't gone down any Price Is Right rabbit holes in my life. Not once, not ever. ;)

My logic basically boils down to with high inflation it's harder to have a sense of what the price actually is as its changes more frequently and in various amounts.

Also means its easier to go over as well if your generally closing to the number.

It wasn’t a couple, it was the guy sitting next to the dude’s wife.
