YOUR rights on buying something for the wrong price depends on whether you bought it in a shop or online. Here are your rights according to Citizen's Advice:

Buying in a shop: 

• If you haven’t bought it yet – The store don’t have to sell it to you for the mistaken price but you could ask them to honour it. The same rules apply if you see an item advertised at a lower price than the one on the price tag.
• If you’ve already bought it – If a shop charges you less than the advertised price then you do’nt have to give it back. If you realised that you were charged more than the advertised price, return the item and ask them to refund the difference. Keep any evidence of the mistake like the receipt and a photo of the advertised price.

Shopping online:

• If you’ve paid for it and/or it’s been sent to you – The company can’t usually cancel your order, even if they realise they’ve sold you something at the wrong price. They’ll only be able to cancel it if it was a genuine and honest mistake on their part that you should’ve noticed.
• If you haven’t paid for it – If the retailer realises its mistake then they are entitled to cancel it.
