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!
