Are stores in the US really legally obliged to sell goods at a mis-marked price?

Yes, actually that is pretty much true........ if something is mismarked or if it has two price tags on it, they have to sell it for the lower amount. A few months ago we have stores out here called COSTCO, like a big wharehouse thing and prices are usually cheaper, well I buy our steaks there (rib eyes) and a bulk pack of three can usually run around $30 or so, give or take, depending upon how thick they are, well I went in there one day and they were mismarked, and I mean they were cheap........ I took as many packs as I could and knew that would wrap and go in the freezer..... I didn't inform anybody, but I am sure they caught on and they would have taken what was left and repackage them....... But yes, stores here usually abide by what the price is of something if they made a mistake.... Many of them here will also if within a few weeks of purchase and they decided to put item on sale, you take in your receipt and they will give you the dfference and the sale price.
