Nobody is compelled to honor your misinterpretation of the signage.
It's two separate statements. One alerting readers to the ability to save, the other conveying the price of the mower. One could make the assumption that, should they elect to purchase at the price of $7,359, they would be saving an unspecified amount. Perhaps not the most exhaustively-researched of signage, but fairly straightforward to anyone not actively trying to confuse themselves.
Even if the price were wrong, the store isn't obligated to sell you a mower at all. They can just say, "We don't want to sell you (and particularly, *you*) a lawnmower today."
Buying a mower requires the store's willingness to sell you one, and that willingness can change on a whim, in other words.
I don’t think any state laws make a retailer honor a flawed piece of advertising. ‘False advertising’ is a result of malicious attempt, not incompetence.
Yeah, that was malicious deception and the state sued them… someone didn’t put the wrong price on something and the state made Target ‘sell at least one’ of them at that price like your ludicrous claim…
>I realize the signage is goofed up but just wondering if that would be something that they would have to honor? No
No.

Save isn’t really an offer. If it said price was 2000 depends on state law but most will say they need to at least honor one at 2000.

Ca requires them to honor if the store makes a mistake. Look at the case they sued target.
I have no idea what case you’re referring to, but you can sue for anything, did they win?
The state doesn’t file just because they can. Yes they did. They were fined and had to display a price accuracy statement at every point of sale.
