B = BOGO

Okay so B is for Bogo

For those of you who live on Mars Bogo is buy one get one free. Why is it that people go psychotically crazy for buy one get one free? Yay I can get two cans of peas fro the price of one so now I have to buy like 10. If you truly buy one perhaps you are getting your moneys worth but they get you to buy like ten so you have way more than you need but you got them free. You see it not only in stores but its all over the television. They have all there random weird sold on TV things. The things that you think are odd but might buy just because it seems like it could be useful and you'll use it once and forget about it. The consumers have to sell a certain amount to make quota so hey buy one you'll get a second one free of charge to entice you more into it. Like a person really needs two sets of easy chopping knives or two magic blending genies.

Why can't you get some good stuff using bogo? I want two SUV's here's my coupon I'll just be on my way. Since you bought this brand new Victorian house in a up and coming neighborhood you get the one next door free. Perhaps clothes are an exception to bogo being a good thing on occasion. Who couldn't go for more clothes


Payless goes BOGO crazy all the time but to them Bogo means buy one get one half off. That kind of ruins the whole excitement of bogo.
