I did this with a coffee roaster that works great. 5 lbs or more and get
a 10% off or 20% off over 30 lbs of roasted coffee.

the way I did it was to set up a "coffee" price group and manually put
in the prices for the q5 and q30. It's not that hard if you use a
spreadsheet and just upload the tables... here is my simple CommonAdjust

CommonAdjust <<EOF,
        pricing:price_group,q5,q30:,
        ;:price,
        ;:price:mv_sku,
        ;$,
        ==:options
EOF

This way items outside of the roasted "coffee" group don't trigger the
break. i.e. t-shirts mugs, greenbean...
