If you’ve ever sat down to shop for weed online, you know the drill. You’re looking for something good, maybe your go-to strain, perhaps something new, and you end up juggling five tabs, squinting at prices, and wondering if what you see is even in stock.

For many people, HiBuddy is the first site they come across. But if you’ve been feeling like it doesn’t quite fit the way you shop, you’re not alone.

That’s why we built Best Bang For Your Bud (BBFYB). To give you another way. A way that makes sense for how cannabis consumers actually shop today.

So here’s the real talk: How does BBFYB compare to HiBuddy? And which one is the better choice for you?

How You Shop Matters

Here’s the thing: HiBuddy and BBFYB take two totally different approaches to shopping for weed. Neither is necessarily “wrong”; it just depends on what you’re looking for.

HiBuddy: Product-First

HiBuddy is what we’d call a product-first approach.
What that means is:

  • You already know exactly which product you want.
  • You’re looking for the best price for that specific product.
  • You don’t really care where you get it from, as long as it’s legitimate and affordable.

If that’s you, if you know you’re looking for Pink Kush 3.5g from Brand X and want to see who’s selling it at the cheapest price, HiBuddy does that.

It’s similar to price-checking a pair of sneakers online. Plug in the name, get a bunch of prices, done.

But… if you’re like most people we talk to, that’s not actually how you shop.

Best Bang For Your Bud: Menu-First

At BBFYB, we designed our platform to be menu-first.
Because we know you don’t always start with a product name in mind, you start with a place.

You already know your favourite spots. You know which shops are nearby, which ones vibe with you, and which ones tend to carry good stuff.

So on BBFYB:

  • You pick your shop.
  • You see their full menu, everything that’s actually in stock.
  • You can scan through and see what looks good today.

And if you want to compare prices after you find something interesting? You can do that too.

We built BBFYB this way because we think shopping for weed should feel like walking into your favourite store, browsing what’s there, seeing what’s fresh, and making your choice based on what you like and what fits your mood or budget.

Why Does That Matter?

Weed isn’t a box of cereal.
It’s personal.
It’s cultural.
It’s connected to how you feel, who you’re with, and what kind of experience you want.

That’s why menu-first just feels more appealing to most people.
You’re not shopping for a barcode, you’re exploring what your favourite spots have today, just like you would in person.

Which One Should You Use?

Here’s the honest breakdown:

HiBuddy is great if…

  • You know the exact product you want.
  • You care more about price than anything else.
  • You’re OK hopping between stores just to save a buck.

BBFYB is better if…

  • You care about your favourite shop and like supporting them.
  • You want to browse full menus and discover what’s new or fresh.
  • You like having all the info about what’s actually in stock right now.
  • You want a shopping experience that feels more human and less like a spreadsheet.

The Bottom Line

If you already know your order and just want the cheapest deal, HiBuddy does the job.
But if you’re someone who likes to browse, see what’s on offer, and enjoy the experience of shopping, Best Bang For Your Bud was made for you.

Because at the end of the day, weed is about more than price.
It’s about finding the right fit for you, from the places you already trust.
