"Do not miss out on other spring savings with Kroger's hot features, BOGOs and weekly digital deals"
Bogos are retail promotions commonly called “buy one, get one” offers, where a customer receives a free or discounted item after purchasing another. For investors, bogos can temporarily boost sales and clear inventory like a short-term sales surge, but they can also squeeze profit margins and mask underlying demand—so they matter as signals about a company’s pricing strategy, customer acquisition efforts and near-term revenue quality.
