BOGO Deals: Are They Really Worth It?

The Allure of BOGO

Buy-one-get-one deals are among the most popular promotions in cannabis retail. But are they always the bargain they appear to be? We did the math so you don't have to.

When BOGO Wins

BOGO deals are genuinely great when applied to products you already use regularly. If your favorite cartridge brand is running a BOGO, stocking up makes perfect sense — you're effectively getting 50% off per unit.

When to Be Cautious

Watch out for BOGO deals on products with inflated regular prices. Some dispensaries raise the base price before applying the promotion, making the "deal" less impressive than it appears. Always compare the effective per-unit price against other retailers.

Tips for Maximizing BOGO Value

Stack BOGO deals with loyalty points when possible. Share with a friend to split the cost if you don't need two of the same product. And always check the expiration date on perishable products — a deal isn't a deal if the product expires before you use it.
