According to The Rescue Hotel, which fundraises for Cardiff Dogs Home, TK Maxx has been offering the black Cardiff Dogs Home T-shirts for sale with a 166% retail markup.

The charity said they sell the shirts for £15 but in TK Maxx they are presented as being sold at a discounted price.

A photograph shared by the charity on its Facebook page shows TK Maxx selling the T-shirt for £39.99, “reduced” from a supposed recommended retail price (RRP) of £65.

The charity said it was confused its items were being sold in TK Maxx anyway and was also bemused as to how the store had settled on such a price.
