This Week's Bundles

Cannabis Deals

The Alchemy runs a structured cannabis deal program across both Manhattan locations (Chelsea at 302 8th Avenue and Flatiron at 12 West 18th Street) and online at thealchemy.nyc. The program covers daily category specials, weekly cultivator and brand rotations, monthly brand feature events, calendar-anchored seasonal promotions, loyalty member exclusives, and a first-time customer welcome offer. Every promoted price runs under New York State OCM advertising rules, which require promoted prices to include all applicable taxes (state excise plus local sales) so the customer sees the actual amount they will pay at the register rather than a pre-tax number followed by a surprise at checkout.

How The Deal Program Is Structured And Why

The deal calendar is intentionally repetitive at the day-of-week level so regular customers can plan their week around the format they care about, and intentionally rotating at the brand and seasonal level so the calendar feels fresh rather than mechanical. We watched the deal program in its first six months reward customers who learned the rhythm (a Wednesday wellness shopper, a Friday flower shopper, a Saturday edibles shopper) with consistent savings, and we kept the rhythm in place once the pattern proved durable. The brand and cultivator features rotate at the week and month level because the New York licensed market is still small enough that a single processor's monthly feature can move a meaningful share of that processor's monthly volume across both our stores.

02

Daily Specials By Day Of The Week

Daily deals rotate by day of the week. The pattern below has been consistent across our operating calendar with the exception of holiday-week shifts and seasonal feature overrides.

Monday: Pre-Roll Day. Selected pre-roll multi-packs and single-strain rolls at a daily discount. Brands featured rotate week to week and routinely include Ready 2 Roll, Dumbo Electric, Edie Parker, Back Home Cannabis Co., and the broader New York pre-roll roster. Multi-packs over-index on Mondays because the volume value tier suits a customer setting up the week's session inventory.

Tuesday: Vape Day. Live resin and live rosin cartridges plus all-in-one disposable vapes at promotional pricing. Featured processors rotate weekly and include Mfused, MFNY, Hudson Cannabis, Silly Nice, and the licensed live-format roster. The Tuesday vape pull is heavier than the average day because the format suits the mid-week customer who wants discreet inhalation without the smell footprint of a pre-roll.

Wednesday: Wellness Day. CBD-dominant products, CBN-blend sleep-formula edibles, balanced-ratio tinctures, and topicals at a discount. The wellness category targets the customer using cannabis for sleep support, stress regulation, or post-workout muscle recovery rather than the recreational pull of the other day-categories. 1906 Midnight, the CBN-blend SKUs across multiple processors, and the topical roll-on category all feature on Wednesdays.

Thursday: Concentrate Day. Live rosin, live resin, ice-water hash, shatter, badder, diamonds and sauce, and infused pre-roll components at promotional pricing. Featured processors include Mfused, Silly Nice, and the rotating premium NYS concentrate brands. Thursday concentrate is the heaviest single-format day on our store-level revenue ledger because the format pull aligns with the pre-weekend setup window.

Friday: Flower Day. Selected flower at a Friday discount across 3.5 gram, 7 gram, and 14 gram jars. Premium craft cultivars (Hudson Cannabis, Florist Farms, Leal, Matter, Back Home) and value-tier flower both feature, often with the highest-percentage SKUs (Leal Stank Breath ounce at 34.99 percent, Matter Garlicane at 31.96 percent) running the discount alongside seasonal sun-grown lots when available.

Saturday: Edibles Day. Gummies, chocolates, sublingual mints, dissolvable strips, tinctures, and effect-targeted edibles (1906 Bliss, 1906 Genius, the broader effect-targeted roster) at a Saturday discount. Multi-pack bundles often appear because the Saturday shopper is setting up the weekend's social and home-consumption inventory.

Sunday: Cross-Category Day. Mixed-format bundles that combine flower plus pre-rolls, edibles plus vapes, or other multi-product picks at a bundle price. Sunday is the dispatcher's quietest delivery day and the lightest walk-in day at both stores, so the cross-category bundle is built to give regular customers a reason to stock the week's inventory before the Monday cycle starts again.

Exact deal pricing and SKU coverage publish on thealchemy.nyc each morning by 9 AM. Deal availability is subject to inventory because some specific cultivar lots sell through inside a single day.

03

Weekly Brand And Cultivator Rotations

Beyond the daily specials, The Alchemy runs a weekly category rotation. A featured brand, processor, or cultivator runs at a weekly promotional price across multiple SKUs from Monday morning through Sunday close. The weekly highlight rotates every Monday and resets at the start of each week, which means a regular customer can plan a week-long buy across multiple formats from the same brand at a meaningful discount versus full-price purchases spread across the calendar.

The weekly deal is the right entry point for customers who want to sample a brand or cultivator they have not bought from before. The discount allows buying across multiple SKUs (a flower jar plus a pre-roll plus an edible from the same brand, or a flower jar from a Hudson Valley cultivator plus the same cultivator's pre-roll line) at a discount that makes the multi-SKU trial worth the spend. The dispatcher and the in-store budtender route customers toward the weekly feature when the conversation at the counter signals brand curiosity.

04

Monthly Brand Features

Each month The Alchemy hosts a brand feature month. During the feature month, all SKUs from the featured brand run at a discount, the brand often hosts an in-store meet-the-grower or meet-the-processor event at one of our two locations, and the brand routinely releases a limited-edition product for the month that drops first to loyalty members and then to the general menu 24 to 48 hours later.

Past and rotating brand features include Hudson Cannabis (craft cultivator months that anchor the Hudson Valley sun-grown season), Florist Farms (indoor craft feature months), Matter (high-percentage indoor feature), Leal (top-shelf indoor feature), North Fork Cannabis Collective (East End greenhouse feature), Mfused (concentrate and live rosin feature), 1906 (effect-targeted edible feature), Back Home Cannabis Co. (seasonal sun-grown feature), Edie Parker (design-forward pre-roll feature), and the broader New York licensed processor roster as the calendar fills. The brand feature calendar publishes on thealchemy.nyc and updates at the start of each month with the featured brand, the SKU coverage, the discount percentage, and any in-store event dates.

05

Seasonal Event Deals

Major calendar moments bring expanded deal windows that override the standard daily rhythm for the week leading into the event.

4/20 (April 20). The biggest cannabis retail day of the calendar year by a meaningful margin. Cross-category specials, limited releases, in-store activations, and brand pop-ups. The 4/20 window typically opens on April 15 with prelude promotions and runs through April 22 with closing specials.

Memorial Day weekend. Summer kickoff with outdoor-format featured products: pre-rolls suited to outdoor consumption, cannabis-infused seltzers and beverages for backyard and rooftop use, and lower-dose edibles for daytime social settings.

Pride Month (June). Featured LGBTQ+-owned brands and donation-linked promotions running through the month. The Alchemy donates a share of designated SKU revenue to LGBTQ+ community organizations during Pride.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Holiday-shopping window with multi-day promotions across pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, and accessories. The largest single-week deal volume of the second half of the year.

Holiday gift season (December). Curated gift bundles and gift-receipt promotions running through December. The Alchemy publishes a Holiday Gift Guide annually that maps gift bundles to recipient archetypes (the wellness-focused gift, the connoisseur gift, the first-time gift, the seasoned consumer gift).

New Year's Eve and Day. Party-night picks plus January reset products including CBD-dominant SKUs, CBN sleep formulations, and the wellness category for the January health-focus customer.

Seasonal event specials publish in the week leading up to each calendar moment, with the dispatcher and the in-store team briefed on the SKU coverage so customer-facing recommendations align with the published menu.

06

Loyalty Member Deals

The Alchemy loyalty program adds member-only deals on top of the public deal program. Members receive birthday discounts ($10 birthday credit redeemable any time during the birthday month), member-exclusive promotional days where public deal pricing is not available but member pricing is, point-earning multiplier days that double or triple the standard 1 point per dollar earning rate, and early access to limited-release products 24 to 48 hours before public availability. The loyalty page covers the full member benefits and the signup flow.

07

First-Time Customer Welcome Offer

The Alchemy supports first-time customers with a welcome discount on the first purchase. The welcome discount applies to one transaction per new customer and is automatically detected at checkout for new account holders. Adults 21 and over only; ID verification at the storefront door and at checkout. The first-time offer is the right entry point for customers who want to try the licensed market without committing to a top-shelf eighth on day one, and it pairs with our standard recommendation to start with a 1 gram jar or a 5 mg edible package before stepping up.

08

Three Ways To Find Current Deals

Browse the live deals page at thealchemy.nyc/deals/. The page updates daily with the current day's daily special, the week's rotating brand feature, the month's featured brand, and any active seasonal event window. This is the fastest way to confirm a deal before walking over or placing an order.

Sign up for the email and SMS deal list. The list publishes daily deal notifications and member-exclusive event invitations. Signup is at the loyalty signup flow on thealchemy.nyc with email and mobile number, and adults 21 and over only.

Read the in-store signage. The current daily and weekly deals post at the front of both Chelsea and Flatiron stores, with the budtender team briefed at shift start so counter recommendations align with the day's published deals. The signage also covers any limited-release drops, monthly feature events, and seasonal promotions.

09

How NYS Compliance Shapes The Deal Program

New York OCM advertising and inducement rules govern every cannabis deal price. Promoted prices include all New York State taxes (state excise plus local sales), which means the price the customer sees on the deal posting is the price they pay at the register. The Alchemy does not run deals that constitute prohibited inducement under OCM guidance: no free cannabis product with purchase, no excessive-consumption-encouraging language, no loyalty mechanisms outside the approved point-and-tier structure, no medical-benefit claims or unverified product-superiority claims in deal copy.

The daily possession cap (3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate per customer per day) applies regardless of how many deals are stacked. The POS enforces the cap at checkout across all promotion combinations. ID verification at the storefront door and at checkout runs at the same 21+ standard regardless of whether the customer is on a deal or full price. The deal program is built specifically to comply with the OCM framework rather than to operate at the edge of it, because the licensed market's structural advantage over the unlicensed market depends on the regulatory framework holding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find current cannabis deals at The Alchemy?

Three channels publish current deal pricing: the deals page at thealchemy.nyc/deals/, the email and SMS loyalty list, and the in-store signage at both Chelsea and Flatiron locations. The deals page updates daily by 9 AM with the current day's special, the week's brand feature, and any active seasonal window.

Can I stack multiple deals on one purchase?

Generally yes within New York OCM advertising rules. The POS applies the daily possession cap (3 oz flower or 24 g concentrate per customer per day) regardless of stacking, and some specific promotions exclude stacking with other offers. The exclusion is noted on each promotion's posted detail.

Do deal prices include tax?

Yes. New York OCM advertising rules require promoted cannabis prices to include all applicable taxes (state excise plus local sales). The number on the deal posting is the number at the register.

Is there a first-time customer discount?

Yes. A welcome discount on the first purchase, automatically detected at checkout for new accounts. The discount applies to one transaction per new customer. Adults 21 and over only.

How often do deals change?

Daily specials rotate by day of the week. Weekly brand and cultivator features reset every Monday morning. Monthly brand features rotate at the start of each month. Seasonal event windows run in the week leading up to each calendar moment, with the largest windows around 4/20, Black Friday, and the December holiday gift season.

What about loyalty member deals?

Loyalty members receive additional benefits beyond the public deal program: birthday credit, member-exclusive promotional days, point-earning multiplier days, and early access to limited-release products. The loyalty signup is at thealchemy.nyc and is free.

Can I get the deal price if I order delivery rather than pickup?

Yes. Deal pricing applies across pickup at either store and delivery to addresses inside the licensed service zone. The promoted price is the same regardless of fulfillment channel, with delivery fees applied separately based on distance and order size.

Do you do free-product giveaways?

No. New York OCM rules prohibit free cannabis product as an inducement or a giveaway. Loyalty points redeem for product credit applied to a regular cannabis purchase that includes all NYS taxes, which is a structurally different mechanism than a free-product giveaway.

How do I sign up for deal notifications?

The email and SMS deal list signup runs through the loyalty signup flow on thealchemy.nyc. Provide email, mobile number, and date of birth (adults 21 and over only). Notifications run daily during weekday business hours with seasonal-event notifications timed against the event calendar.
