If this happens in Maryland, the store HAS to give you the price advertised. It doesn't matter if they have the wrong sign up. Advertised price in the store is the price you pay, period.
One more thing that some people may not know. If you buy something from a store (In Maryland) and the store puts it on sale for a lower price within 30 days, all you have to do is take in your receipt and the store has to give you back the difference. That is also Maryland State Law.
I've done it - the stores certainly don't like it, but they have no choice.
