An experienced cannabis shopper, especially a delivery regular, knows that saving money isn’t just about shopping less—it’s about shopping smart. By leveraging dispensary rewards, weekly specials, bulk options, and product knowledge, savvy customers can stretch their cannabis budget without skimping on quality.

1. Sign Up Immediately for Loyalty Programs

Most dispensaries offer free loyalty programs that award one point per dollar spent, often scaling up with tiered systems that boost rewards for frequent customers. For example, Wallflower in Las Vegas offers from 1× to 2.5× points per dollar as customers hit spending tiers, while Reef Dispensaries gives even points-per-dollar and allows redemptions once 100 points are reached.

2. Track Weekly & Holiday Specials

Dispensaries often run weekly deals—like “Flower Fridays” or “Edible Tuesdays”—and holiday promotions around 4/20, Labor Day, and Black Friday. By aligning orders with these dates, shoppers save up to 20% or more while earning full loyalty rewards. Following preferred retailers on social media or subscribing to newsletters makes it easy to spot limited-time offers.

3. Use Referral Bonuses & Missions

Beyond purchase points, many loyalty systems award bonus points through referrals and in-app challenges. Wallflower customers, for example, earn 250 points when a friend uses their referral code, plus “missions” that offer up to 500 extra points. Similarly, platforms like High Rewards allow users to scan receipts, take surveys, or “check in” to dispensaries, extending earning beyond mere purchasing.

4. Buy in Bulk or Try Budget-Friendly Forms

Purchasing larger quantities often unlocks per-gram discounts, and less expensive product forms—like shake, popcorn buds, or concentrates—can deliver value and potency more efficiently. Surterra advises that concentrates and edibles tend to last longer and reduce frequency of purchases.

5. Roll Your Own Pre-Rolls & Use Cartridges

Buying rolling supplies and flower to create pre-rolls is often cheaper than purchasing factory-made versions—and gives control over quality. Likewise, filling reusable vape batteries with cartridges beats buying disposable pens, which cost more over time.

6. Understand Point Expiration & Redemption Strategy

Points often expire anywhere from three months to a year. Regularly checking your account and applying points strategically—either as fuel for larger savings or immediate discounts—helps maximize benefits.

7. Select Products Based on Goals & Tolerance

Focus purchases on products that align with a shopper’s specific needs—whether relaxation, pain relief, or recreation—to avoid overuse and waste. Some users find full-spectrum items satisfy their goals faster and more efficiently. Additionally, tolerance breaks can reduce consumption needs and preserve budget.

By combining these strategies—loyalty enrollment, deal tracking, rewarding referrals, bulk buying, DIY options, careful point use, and mindful product selection—veteran cannabis delivery customers can significantly reduce their costs without compromising on quality. It’s about building smart habits, planning ahead, and letting rewards work as hard as the weed does.
