| - Hit Me was a pricing game based on blackjack. This blackjack-based game was played for a prize worth between $2,500 and $10,000 and used grocery items.
- Six grocery items were shown, each concealing a standard playing card. A price was also displayed with each item, which represented the actual price of the item multiplied by the value of the concealed card - face cards were worth ten, and aces worth one (showing the actual price). Note that, as in blackjack, an Ace is worth either one or eleven in a player's hand - whichever is most beneficial to the player.

| - Six grocery items were shown, each concealing a standard playing card. A price was also displayed with each item, which represented the actual price of the item multiplied by the value of the concealed card - face cards were worth ten, and aces worth one (showing the actual price). Note that, as in blackjack, an Ace is worth either one or eleven in a player's hand - whichever is most beneficial to the player. The contestant would cut a deck of playing cards, and a hand would be drawn for the "house" - the hand against which the contestant would play. The house received a standard blackjack hand consisting of a face-up "up" card, and a face-down "hole" card, both placed on a game board. The contestant was then asked to select a grocery item. The actual price was revealed and the playing card was placed in the contestant's hand on the board. The process was repeated for a second item. The contestant could then stand, or continue to select grocery items if they wanted. If the contestant's hand totaled 21, they automatically won; if they exceeded 21, they busted and automatically lost; otherwise, the game continued. Once the contestant's hand was complete, the house's hole card was revealed. The house would then draw additional cards if needed until its hand was 17 or above. If the house went over 21, it busted and the contestant automatically won. Otherwise, the contestant's hand was compared to the house's, with the larger total winning and ties going to the contestant. The rules for dealing with a house "soft" 17-21, in which an Ace treated as an eleven forms a value which the house would stand on, were never particularly clear. Sometimes, host Bob Barker treated the Ace as a one and continued drawing. Other times, he treated the Ace as a hard 11 and stood. There was no apparent pattern to this behavior, although it seemed to hinge on his current mood.
