it. A week later she notices the same store is advertising the same calculator---"Regular price $9.95, sale price $7.95" Is the store violating the law?

from your statements it can be discerned that the calculator previously got a marked price $6.95. Definitely the action of store not less than interfering with consumer rights by misleading ad.

If a week went by, then of course it's legal. Stores can change their prices. What would be illegal is if the add said: "One day only, 1 Calculator regular priced at $9.95 reduced to $6.95 first come first serve," and you were the first person that came in that store that day and they wouldn't sell it to you for that price.

Not really. If the manufacturer's recommended retail price is $9.95 then they can call that the "regular" price. It is deceptive however, and I would find some place else to shop in the future.

This is totally legal. It's called inflation.
Now she needs to ask her boss for a raise because the cost of living is rising.
