Supermarket Sweep is one of TV's great achievements. In case you didn't watch Lifetime in the '90s, the game show was about grocery store shoppers running through the aisles and racking up as much merchandise as they could in a couple of minutes. The conventional wisdom for Supermarket Sweep goes like this: It's always wisest to pick meats, cheeses, and the big inflatable bonus items for the most money. But in this SNL cut sketch, Melissa McCarthy reveals that strategy to be garbage as she earns thousand of dollars of items in mere seconds.

It's the season for shopping, or at least that's what the holiday advertisements tell us. It's up to you whether you hit the malls or just stay home and make your loved ones homemade Popsicle-stick ornaments this year, but in either case, we've got a treat for you.

Shop 'til you drop! Reese Witherspoon was all smiles when she went on a shopping spree yesterday morning in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles that she calls home. The actress looked as if she had just finished a workout, sporting running pants, tennis shoes and a black top. And while balancing multiple shopping bags, the Legally Blonde star was able to somehow maintain a convo on her cell phone! Now that's some impressive juggling skills. Witherspoon's been keeping extra-busy lately. Between shooting films, the mother of three has managed to grow a lovely herb and vegetable garden just in time for the summer season. What a multi-talented mom!
