Pay Less shoes and some others keep using the abbreviation BOGO which used to mean in their ads, Buy One Get One free but now they are using it to mean Buy One Get One half off. I hate that, it is deceptive. What they should say is BOGOHO, Buy One Get One Half Off.

You are right. I thought it was buy one get one free at first, and then I saw buy one get 1/2 off another. Since Payless is not really that cheap anymore, it is not great of a deal. Last time I went in there expecting to get a cheap pair of shoes I was shocked at how high the prices were. The only deals there are anymore is when they have those big discount tags on the boxes. Those are a good deal.

You are right. Payless is not that affordable anymore. And their styles are not that pretty, too. For the price with the style I am not comfortable and happy with, I would rather buy somewhere else.

Yes this is sooo true. I have noticed this also. It must be the tough economic times. Ya right.

I always associate BOGO with Payless, so when I hear it used on another company's commercial it seems weird.
