Shoe Carnival BOGO deal starts July 1
I'm not a big fan of retail offers that require buying something now in order to get a deal later. Usually, I forget to return later with my coupon.
But for the more organized shoppers out there, Shoe Carnival has resurrected its "BOGO When You Want 2" promotion. Stupid and confusing promotion name aside, the deal is this: With any purchase made between Wednesday and Saturday (July 1-4), customers get a "BOGO When You Want 2" card. That card then allows you to buy one pair of shoes and get a second pair of equal or lesser value for half off at Shoe Carnival anytime through Jan. 19, 2010. Why Jan. 19? I have no clue, but that gives you a solid six months to score new shoes using the deal.
This certainly isn't the mother of all deals, but it does coincide with Shoe Carnival's July 4 sale event. So you could end up with some decent loot if you decide to just go for it all at once.

I totally agree with you!!! Hence, my comment about the "stupid and confusing promotion name aside"...

Why do they call it BOGO? If it's truly "buy one, get one," should you have to pay anything at all for the second pair? If it's "buy one, get one half-off," shouldn't they call it BOGOHO? Sooo many questions.
