On BOGO's, I think that the price is slightly reduced most of the time, not usually by half and that it is used to try to influence you to buy two instead of one, in other words it is a marketing technique, not a conspiracy or anything underhanded.
Marketing is all of the means used to encourage the sale of a product.
I find it very hard to understand how anyone would feel duped or offended. I know where the best bargains are for groceries and I ENJOY grocery shopping because I like to cook. Sometimes I feel like driving further and sometimes I don't. Early in our lives, I was very frugal with everything, now not so much at the grocery, but I still can't pay $20 a pound or more for meat, poultry or fish. I don't know why. Old habits die hard.
