A shopper’s trip down the marker aisle at Target has turned into an unplanned lesson in retail math, with a video comparing two marker packs to make its point.
The clip posted on TikTok, filmed inside a Target stationery section, opens with the creator eyeing an eight-marker pack tagged at $6.99 under a prominent sale sign. “This is why you need to be careful about what you buy. You see this shiny 6.99 sale, oh my gosh, like I’m gonna buy that,” he says before stopping to take a closer look. “I almost fell for it because if you think about it, you’re saving $2.70 that’s what it’s advertising, but you only get eight.”
