Boba Tea House T-shirt gets me 10 percent discount!

I've posted the local Boba Tea House menu previously here.

Also, at the local "Tea House," I purchased a T-shirt.  I'm not sure if the promotion has a scheduled end-date.  It cost about $13.00.  The T-shirt is pretty nice.  The logo is actually embroidered and not silkscreen or printed.  From a financial perspective though, it appears that you will need to buy at least $130 worth of products to count it as "free" because at that point you will have saved around the $13.00.

I put "free" in quotes because it actually isn't free if you weren't planning on spending that kind of money (at least $130) at that store.  You never spend money just to save money....

Reminds of IRS tax deductions (not talking about credits).  You never want to "spend" money for the tax deduction.  Why spend $1,000 to save about $300 to $350 (Federal and State combined)?  You are still out more than $600.  Keep the $1,000.
