Hi!
Someone has mentioned about ordering signs for the 15th of December's money bomb, and that reminded me of the time I've saved my church money:
They wanted X amount of flyers for their BBQ. We went to Office Depot and they have a price list by volume. Then I noticed that their number of flyers are not really cost effective. So we ended up printing up 200 more flyers and they spent less than they would with their proposed number.
So...I figure that we have a good amount of smart blokes around here. And we are pressed for time. So... here is a nifty cheat sheet on how many yard signs you can order from HQ by pricing tier before things get quite costly:

24 signs @ 5 = $120 (if ordering 20 signs, it's more cheaper to order 25 at 4 per sign.)
49 signs @ 4 = $196 (When ordering at least 38, go for 50 at 3 per sign)
50 signs @ 3 = $150 (When ordering at least 83, go for 100 at 2.50 per sign)
Basically, this is FWIW. Any algorithms for other items can be placed here. Cheers!
