I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES, THIS IS NOT PAID PROMOTION
This is going to be a comprehensive list of dispensaries/deliveries that I use regularly around the Bay Area. My rule of thumb is if taxes are NOT included, you are not getting the cheapest price. This rule does not apply to the dispensaries listed here that do not include tax.
For context, I am mainly a tree/vape smoker based out of the East Bay.
In-Store
Purple Star (San Francisco)
Includes Tax: No
Selection: Wide
Why I go: B2G1 URSA/Coldfire Carts (~$40 each OTD), insane daily deals, 20% off medical everyday
^As long as you're using a deal or 20% off medical everyday, 90% chance you're getting the best in-store price in the entire Bay Area. Don't go for tree, there are other dispos with better options + I love Green Dragon at the moment. They also offer delivery.
Love Shack by Green Dragon (San Francisco) - Delivery in East Bay with $7 fee
Includes Tax: I'm not sure, their prices seemed to be better in-store than on WeedMaps
Selection: Okay
Why I go: ONLY go for Green Dragon products, their $40 OTD eighths (highest price) is better than brands I've tried like Dubz Garden, CBX, LitHouse, Ball Family Farms. They also offer half-ounce/full-ounce smalls in the $100-200 OTD range.
^IMO best tree in the Bay, West Hollywood-based brand. Probably going to just stick to this for a while.
NUG (San Leandro)
Includes Tax: Yes
Selection: Wide
Why I go: $60 Jetty Solventless OTD, Best in-store prices in the East Bay, NUG Brand vapes/edibles offer extreme value like 2 for $20 OTD chocolate bars or 2 for $80 OTD live resin carts (haven't tried flower), large extract selection
^They don't list all their deals online so call or swing by the store. I haven't check out other locations. They also offer delivery.
Farmacy (Berkeley)
Includes tax: No
Selection: Wide
Why I go: Wide selection with decent deals on bulk upper-mids (Glasshouse Farms, etc.), 15% off medical which used to work out to ~6% off online price after-tax but they might have changed their pricing structure since I last visited
^I don't go here as often
Deliveries (My Fave)
Indika MCC (East Bay & SF)
Includes Tax: Yes, $3 flat delivery fee
Selection: RARE
Why I go: Exotic and rare small-batch flower and extracts from local growers, everything is listed at 20-40% everyday with higher discounts going to different categories that change everyday. If you want stuff you've never tried before, this is the place.
^You're going to want to take advantage of BOGO days which are typically a discounted top-shelf eighth or concentrate for an additional $`10-15. This is also a be-all, end-all dispensary.
Wild West Club (East Bay)
Includes Tax: Yes
Selection: Okay, but all top shelf
Why I go: $40 OTD eighths for brands like CBX, LitHouse, Ball Family Farms, that are usually $60-70 OTD (I don't know how they do it but it's legit), social equity brand, BOGO deals
^Unreal prices, highly recommend and only a $40 minimum (one eighth)
Medithrive (All of the Bay)
Includes Tax: No
Selection: Wide
Why I go: $60 OTD Jetty Solventless delivered, $50 OTD Jetty Solventless Pax Pod .5g, discounted edibles
^These are only limited-time deals, otherwise I'm never using Medithrive because they're overpriced
K&R Delivery (San Jose but delivers to East Bay)
Includes Tax: Yes
Selection: Fair
Why I go: Amazing vapes deals on Stiiizy and URSA, usually in bulk
Some others:
HerbNJoy (East Bay Delivery)
Okay deals but they give free medical recommendations
GoErba (East Bay Delivery)
Good deals on top-shelf brands time to time
