GODFREY - Village Dispensary in Godfrey has deals every day this week. The dispensary always offers discounts; Alli, a representative with the dispensary, calls it “a stoner’s dream.” There are specials every day of the week, and customers can walk out with products for less than $20. “A lot of the times at the end of the transaction, people will be like, ‘Oh my gosh, I thought I was going to spend more,’” Alli said. “And then they want to add on more and they weren’t expecting to be able to. The difference is clear at our store.” The dispensary has daily specials, starting with “Roll Into the Week Monday” — a deal on pre-rolls — and “Tasty Tuesday” edible deals. “Waxy Wednesday” offers sales on concentrates and vapes. “Thirsty Thursday” promises 30% off select cannabis-infused drinks, and “Flower Friday” offers flower for the low price of $25.
