I’m always looking to save money, even if it means scouring the sales papers at the grocery store for extra coupons or digital promotions.
It’s nice when one of my favorite items like blueberry bagels are not just reduced, but by as much as 50% or more.
When you have a limited income, you have to get creative with ways to save money wherever you can. My grandmother is the one who taught me how to do this. She would clip coupons and keep them in a little folder that fit inside her purse at the time. I was always impressed when my grandmother would save anywhere between $10 and $20 on a single shopping trip with only a handful of items. My parents would happily take her assistance when we’d hit the grocery and department stores for our family shopping trips with my siblings and I. I have taken these strategies and have applied them to things as diverse as cannabis products. Whenever I’m at the medical cannabis dispensary, I always try to utilize a sale or promotion. Sometimes there will be a separate cannabis product menu for items that are on clearance because of their shelf life. It’s really nice to save on state recreational cannabis taxes by being a medical marijuana patient with an updated medical marijuana card through the state. Otherwise there are 15% state taxes on all cannabis sales if you buy recreational instead of medical. There are plenty of merits for maintaining a medical cannabis program past the point of legalizing recreational marijuana sales.
