When Do Michigan Dispensaries Have the Best Deals?

October 9, 2026 · GREENLINE

Cannabis prices in Michigan fluctuate significantly throughout the year. If you time your purchases right, you can save 20–40% without changing what you buy.

Weekly Specials

Most dispensaries run rotating daily deals:

Monday/Tuesday: slowest days. Many shops offer 15–20% off or BOGO deals to drive traffic
Wednesday: “Wax Wednesday” concentrate deals at many dispensaries
Weekend: usually the worst time to buy. Full price, busy, longer waits

Seasonal Price Drops

October–November: outdoor harvest season. Prices on flower drop 15–25% as supply increases
January–February: post-holiday lull. Dispensaries clear inventory with deep discounts
4/20 (April 20): the biggest sales of the year. 30–50% off storewide is common. Stock up
7/10 (July 10): “Dab Day” — concentrate-focused sales, 20–40% off wax, shatter, and live resin

Price Trend

Michigan cannabis prices have been falling steadily since 2020. The average recreational ounce went from $350+ to under $120 for mid-shelf. Competition between dispensaries is fierce, especially in the Detroit metro and western Michigan markets.

Loyalty Programs

Most Michigan dispensaries offer loyalty programs that give you 5–10% back in points or credits. If you shop at the same dispensary regularly, enroll. It stacks with daily specials for maximum savings.

Best strategy: buy in bulk during 4/20 or harvest season sales, use loyalty points, and shop early in the week. You can easily spend 30% less than someone buying randomly on weekends.
