"It's no secret that prices are rising, from groceries to clothing to basic home necessities. One rising cost that we don't talk about enough, especially with an increased number of people working from home, are office-related supplies. The undeniable leading culprit? Printer ink cartridges. Ink cartridges have always been ridiculously expensive to replace, desensitizing people into believe that spending upwards of $30 or $40 on new cartridges is somehow a good deal."
"She went to the store to pick up new cartridges, but instead of the usual $40 she expected to spend, the pack was priced at $79. She found the same cartridges online, priced at $33, but the store was unwilling to price-match. Then she realized that she could buy her same exact printer, with cartridges included, for $64, saving her almost $15. So that's exactly what she did."
"She wrote in the caption of her video: "I'm convinced we're living in some alternate universe, because how is this okay?" "I was so dumbfounded. A whole brand new printer was actually going to save me money?! The math ain't mathin', and the universe ain't universe-in'. I'm still confused."

The shopper found the identical printer model sold with cartridges for $64, representing nearly a $15 saving compared with the in-store cartridge pack price, and purchased the new printer instead. The discovery sparked viral reaction on social media, with users sharing jokes, tips, and reasons to keep a home printer.
