Don't you love it when a sale ends? The clerks forget to remove the signs,
and two weeks later you see the sign and try to buy the product at that price, in which case they tell you "because it says 'sale is from day1-day7' and it's after day 7, we can't sell it to you."?

With no pressure to go by advertised price, they can be as sloppy as they want.

1. Oh, I've had many managers honor the price as posted
even if the dates are listed in tiny print at the bottom. If the sign is still there, ask for the manager.

2. I'll do that next time. I was amazed at the 17 year old cashier, tho:
Took him half a tick, but his response was good.

It was a piece o' shit application anyway - and I found a freeware registry cleaner to compensate anyway: toniarts easy cleaner 1.7f

3. usually if the sign is still up, they honor the price
speaking as a former retail drone.

4. Times, they are a'changin'.

Still, with no shortage of stores, I have no qualms going elsewhere.
