I encourage you to learn about the various cannabis brands that are operating dispensaries close by to where you live or work. A Google search for “cannabis dispensaries near me” should provide you with a list to work from.
By studying their websites, you will likely learn that dispensaries run promotions (almost) everyday. Unless there’s a very specific product you’re interested in and a budtender explains that it’s never discounted, you may be better off waiting until the price drops.
There are several other ways to save that you should be familiar with:
First (and second) Time Customer Discounts: Most dispensaries offer discounts on your first two visits. Oftentimes, the discount for your second trip is greater than the first.
Loyalty Programs: Dispensaries typically track your purchases; especially in “medical only” markets. Over time, you will accrue points with purchases that can lead to future discounts.
Clearance Items: Similar to other types of retail businesses, dispensaries will phase out products periodically and offer price reductions to move the merchandise.
Veteran or Senior Discounts: Most dispensaries offer savings for folks who are / have been in the military as well as for seniors (older stoners). These are sometimes “stackable”, which means that applied on top of sale prices.
Searching for deals at cannabis dispensaries can be worthwhile, as most products (if you are patient) can typically be acquired for 25-60% off. By establishing yourself with multiple dispensaries, you can pivot your purchasing to the deals and products you enjoy most, while racking up “loyalty” points that can be applied to future purchases.
Also, unlike many other industries, you typically don’t need a discount code or anything special to take advantage. Most dispensary websites will post the retail and discounted pricing right on their websites and often on a TV screen when you walk inside.
