actually done business):

*************************************************************
One Week Only - BOGO Savings at Savon and Osco!
(but if you DO miss out on that, at least take advantage of
no cost ground shipping within the US direct from us.)

What the HECK is a BOGO you ask?  Don't worry, I had no idea either!

BOGO is simply a Buy-One-Get-One (B.O.G.O.) discount from Savon or Osco.

Usually, manufacturers just send out the coupons and let you figure out
the bogosity for yourself. I guess these folks decided to short-cut the
process...
