Found the Supermarket Sweep game at one of the Atlanta-area Ollie's locations, $4.99 as mentioned above. It was on the board game aisle and not in the seasonal section, so look in both places if you need to.
If I recall, the companion app is no longer supported for SS.
It looks like it's still there. They did move Press Your Luck, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy to a different "legacy" app, but they seem to still be functional as well.

The SS app still scans the product cards.  It is not working with the bonus item cards.  Since bonuses are random amounts from $50-300, multiplying the roll of a d6 by 50 does similar.

The App still works, they updated it in July and changed a few things. The only thing we have issues with are the Bonus Inflatables, they seem to be a different style of UPC barcode and will not focus and scan. We just make our own rules there.
I asked the company about it and they said they were working on another refresh of the App and that was on the list, but I dont think they have fixed that aspect yet, if they even plan to at all still. However, the regular products scan just fine!

Walmart's website is now showing the "Gold," edition of Family Feud available on line for shipping (w/arrival date of November 29).  The online purchase price is $16.99.  Since I already showed a picture of the box cover art, here is one of the game contents:

https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/f261d1d3-eda0-47c3-85f0-93b7e91eb547.c898285819a140fe768d0e779a913f0e.jpeg?odnHeight=2000&odnWidth=2000&odnBg=FFFFFF

When reading the description, this version, like the "Big Buzzer," from Target, mention "One Steve Harvey Card."  I believe that is to cover one side of the "Fast Money" survey cards.  But you'll notice in the picture a card depicting a "buzzer" button, apparently to simulate who's first on a "Face Off."

The front of the pictured Fast Money card lists only three or four answers per question, even though there clearly would have been more lower-point answers given. That's no fun.

Since a card has two sides, I have to assume Endless is gonna Endless and the obverse side of that card has a picture of Steve Harvey's schwanz or whatever to cover up the Fast Money question backs.

Walmart is now showing a new FF "Jumbo Card Game" (Priced at $3.97):

Through no fault of your own, this thread has unfortunately become the "New Variant of Family Feud is out" thread.

If you'd like a no-frills buzzer software for your home use, our boy Travis has you covered- Buzzer Grid is available on Etsy for $5. Accomodates up to eight players, various scoring, and a game clock.

Make that two dollars and forty-nine dang cents through the weekend.

We've already heard talk about new Talk About board/card games coming in 2025.  Also planned for 2025 is a new electronic WOF game from Educational Insights.  Here is a catalog entry picturing what's at least a prototype:

So....it's essentially a repackage of the '95 LCD game? Even if you angle this as a classroom aid (which, considering how many people learned words and letters by watching, seems long overdue), this comes off as outdated.
