Quick question guys if a shop had a deal instore but still has it advertised in store with no expiry date can they say no when you go purchase this item..I was of the belief the store has to sell them items at the price advertised

They dont have to sell it to you at a displayed price. Thats an 'invitation to treat'. The sale is only completed if you offer an amount and they accept it.

No they don't - in fact they don't have to sell it to you at all unless the reason is due to race or religion.

They could be committing an offence under retail display guidelines but thats different altogether.

Chances are a sign was inadvertently left on display. But no the store does not have to sell at any marked price - though in normal trading this is whatis expected.

It takes little thought to see why this is incorrect.

If this was the case scumbags would have their mates go into a car dealership in a balaclava and stick a €10 sign on a BMW and then go in and demand it at that price.

For that reason it is not law, and rightly so.

In a less extreme example people could easily take labels off shelves in supermarkets and put them up at a later date.

If you think its genuinely misleading you can complain, several supermarkets have been fined for it before.
