    You have no rights, appeal to their good nature?

    Although most large stores have their own returns policy, return the item and buy at new price?

    Try it. You never know they may say yes.

    But the other flip of the coin is - what if the price had increased and the supermarket wanted more money off you?

    Where would you stand if you paid i.e £100 for an item and next day it was £150.

    Would you be here having that is your title.... No dont think sooooo!

    I wouldn't have thought so. After all if the price had increased you would hardly be going to the supermarket and offering to pay the difference.

    If the item is not fresh produce and you have your receipt you may be able to return it for a refund and then buy it again at the cheaper price.

    If it was an online purchase then you could reject it under DSR within 7 days and get a refund. But not for in-store purchases.
