    I feel like when I buy $20/$25 worth it's not too far off from what I'd get for $35/$40. I'm thinking of just buying in smaller amounts from my guy.

    Does anyone else do this for the same reason?

    This is the only guy who's stuck around in my area, plus he's five minutes away. Otherwise I have to drive 30 miles for a better deal, but what I save on the bud I'm wasting even more in gas going to and from. :/

    By the way, an eighth is considered a lot to me money wise, being a broke college kid working minimum wage lol.

    Scales are ridiculously cheap. Get one weigh each amount and see what is the better deal from then on buy that amount.

    I already know what the better deal is, but driving 60 miles round trip to pick up under an eighth every two/three days isn't worth it to me.

    Buying a quarter or more at a time isn't an option either, I budget my money in between paychecks and don't always have a ton to spend at once.

    Was buying a half from a guy for the second time and it came up a quarter short, the weed was in a corner of the bag and the bag was tied so there wasn't much knowing how much it was without a scale.

    So yea I would get a scale..

    Also you could probably get the price down if you know what to say


    P.S got the other half of the bag the next day, dealer realized I know if the shits short I don't get shorted anymore

    1) Buy a 20 bag
     
    2) wait for the dealer to hand you the bag
     
    3) "You know what, I need another dub"

    Say it's for a friend so he won't mind bagging up another one.

    Good way to get 2 .8 gram bags.

    If you are buying eighths every few days, then take a tolerance break save up for a week and buy a half oz. Then begin smoking and saving because you wont be buying weed every few days

    Uh.... 1 gram compared to 3 and a half grams is a big difference! Hello? Are you serious?

    You can get a scale for 10 bucks man, it's worth it. Check Amazon

    This post had some potential by the title, until I saw we're talking about half 8th's.

    Scale. Easy. Problem solved. Stop making excuses.

    And if you're budgeting your money, buying higher amounts should not be an issue. Unless you're not actually budgeting your money which is more likely since you're spending a bunch of money on unknown amounts of weed already and getting annoyed at being ripped off

    have your dealer weight it in front of you and buy quarter oz to last you one week

    Now please tell me when I said ANYTHING about 1 gram...I clearly said the amount I get for $20/$25 isn't significantly (<- keyword) different from the amount I'd get if I were paying $15/$20 more.

    I usually get 2/2.5 grams for $20/$25, I just feel like I'm getting cut a little short when I spend more money at once.

    Sorry man, I don't have $70/$80 to spend at once buying a quarter ounce of weed. That's half a paycheck for me busting my ass for 30 hours a week. That's just the way the world works for some people.

    My weed money is based on how much I have left over after buying the bare necessitates (food, gas, so on and so forth).

    Like buying a scale is going to fix the problem? Give me a fucking break.

    This guy is doing me a favor and I have no one else to turn to if we're thinking logically here. Me hopping in his car and pulling out a scale to weigh that shit? Snowball's chance in hell of him meeting me again.
