well, for $3.50, you aren't getting a good T shirt, so it'd be better to compare it to the $0.25 pens. Personally, I spend about 3x that, maybe 4x on small run

well, for $3.50, you aren't getting a good T shirt, so it'd be better to compare it to the $0.25 pens. Personally, I spend about 3x that, maybe 4x on small runs, and get nice T shirts. But then, it's rare I see people that I don't know/ that don't know they will be seeing me wearing the shirts. (and I've only given out a couple hundred) so it's possible that the 'blanket 'em with cheap shirts' strategy works better.
