No, IANAL (or a retailer) but as I understand it the displayed price, in store on on a web site etc. is classed as an "invitation to treat".  They are still within their rights to change their mind up to the point that the sale is done, or the order is accepted online.
ie. online they can say no at the checkout stage, but can't do so after it's been confirmed.

Actually online retailers can cancel a sale even after payment has been made under the "invitation to treat" proviso. Sales with incorrect prices/software glitches etc do not have to be honoured. Depending on the amount of orders and the discrepancy in the price a large retailer like Amazon may honour the sale.
