Although the TV game show Supermarket Sweep wasn't on the air in the early 1960s (when, allegedly, Laverne & Shirley takes place), the show's format is at the heart of this wild-and-wooly episode. When Laverne (Penny Marshall) wins five minutes of free shopping at a major supermarket, everybody she knows wants to take advantage of her good fortune. The result is a frenetic chase through the aisles of the store, as Laverne and Shirley (Cindy Williams) attempt to stuff everything that isn't nailed down into a single shopping cart!
