While shopping at Meijers on May 11, 2009 we saw sale signs posted for 32oz Meijers milk for .85 cents, normally sold for 1.68. We pick up 1 and with the rest of our items we checked out.
After getting home and putting our items away, we noticed that the milk did ring 1.68 and not the posted advertised price of .85 cents.
We drove back to the store, which was 7 to 8 miles away. We made sure the sale sign was still up and took one with us to the service desk. We showed our reciept and the sale sign to the employee working at the desk.
He checked it out and found that it was on sale, but not entered into the computer to ring the sale price. When he was correcting the error I asked for the scanning law, and was told it did not quallify for it. He said it was a price drop and not an advertise item, and that the item had to be ticketed to quallify for the scanning law.
I thought that if an item is posted on sale and did not ring up the sale price that the law was there to protect us from being ripped-off. Am I wrong?

Your car get 15 miles to a gallon. A gallon of gas cost around $2 per gallon. You drive back to the store, 7 or 8 miles and another 7 or 8 miles back home, so a round trip of 14 or 16 miles, using a $2 gallon of gas to complain about EIGHTY THREE CENTS. You've spent $2 to recoup EIGHT THREE CENTS. Or as I tell my wife. Do like all the car rental places do. They figure with the cost of gas, insurance, maintance and ware and tear on a vehicle, they figure each mile is worth around ONE DOLLAR. So you spent $14 or $16 to TRY and recoup EIGHTY THREE CENTS. That's not including what your time's worth. You may have been right but WAS IT WORTH IT?

14. What if an item is advertised on sale but the clerk charges me the marked price, which is higher than the advertised sale price; am I entitled to buy the item at the advertised sale price and receive the bonus?
You are not entitled to the bonus because you were not charged more than the price marked on the item. MCL 445.360a. Whether you are entitled to purchase the item at the advertised sale price is a fact-specific question best answered by a court. The failure to sell goods, merchandise, commodities, or services in the manner advertised, or the refusal to sell at the price advertised, or in accordance with other terms and conditions of the advertisement, creates a rebuttable presumption of intent to violate the Act. MCL 445.356(2).
So, as long as they did not charge you more than the normal price of the item, you can't get the bonus.
Also:
2. If a price is not marked on a sale item and it scans for more than the sale price, do I get the sale price and the bonus?
You are entitled to the sale price but not the bonus. There must be a price marked on the item - and the item has to scan for more than the price marked on it - for you to be entitled to the bonus.
So unless the milk you purchased was marked .85 cents on the container you are not eligible for the bonus.
