"Available at: Linens-n-Things Stores (1.866.568.6378) and LNT.com Why this is good: Big blowout sale! What I think: I hope you&amp;#039;re wondering, as I did, what a BOGO sale is. There I was, enjoying my favorite Sunday morning ritual of reading the newspaper and drinking coffee in bed, when a Linens-n-Things flyer fell out with this headline: &amp;quot;Our Biggest BOGO Sale.&amp;quot; At first I thought it must be a brand name, but then I saw BOGO on towels, sheets, even lamps. Uh, uh, clearly not a brand name.  So instead of enjoying my Sunday reading, I sat there, staring at the flyer, trying to come up with meanings for &amp;quot;BOGO&amp;quot;. Even though I think I&amp;#039;m pretty creative and a decent wordsmith, nothing I came up with worked. I even resorted to the unthinkable: asking Ed (my husband) while he was reading the sports pages. He had no idea -- and no interest.  So I waited until the store opened and called. Here&amp;#039;s what it means: Buy One Get One (BOGO) 50% off. A-ha! So now that it&amp;#039;s too late to finish reading the paper, I&amp;#039;m going to have breakfast and head out to Linens-n-Things to buy sheets for my son&amp;#039;s bed. He&amp;#039;ll be home from college soon and has already told me at least 4 times he doesn&amp;#039;t think his sheets are &amp;quot;masculine&amp;quot; enough. Imagine a guy who&amp;#039;s majoring in business with a minor in English worrying about masculine sheets! Wonder what all that tuition money is really paying for. Are pastel colors masculine? Or do I have to look for dark blue? If there&amp;#039;s a lesson from friends whose kids have come home to live after college to &amp;quot;enjoy mom&amp;#039;s cooking and stay with family,&amp;quot; maybe I&amp;#039;d be doing us all a favor to shop for floral or heart prints on sale. Don&amp;#039;t get me wrong. I love my son Warren, but I think finding a job and apartment with friends after he graduates makes the most sense. In fact, maybe I should just get back into bed and finish the newspaper! ;) By the way, the BOGO sale is on thru July 4th. And if you shop in store, don&amp;#039;t forget to use one of those 20% coupons off that you probably have stashed away because they&amp;#039;ll honor that on all in-store purchases, too.
