I have never tried ouncebuddy but I have had budget buds from Bluemoon, Budem, CAMMP, MonkeyBudz, Gentle Herb (no longer exists apparently) and some others
All of the bud I've personally received have been decent for the money and definitely smokeable - Let's be real here you're not buying high end stuff so it shouldn't be treated as such - these are budget buds for people who are tight on funds and just want something smokeable
Everything has been different depending on the source, eg;
Bluemoon and CAMMP and GentleHerb all had outdoor/greenhouse buds that were priced around $65 - $75 at time of purchase and all three were mostly looser nugs with more than average stems and leaf but still a decent smoke
Budem and MonkeyBudz and GentleHerb (and some others) all have budget stuff priced anywhere from $69 and up (sometimes less) and seem to consist of more indoorsy looking tight stuff, sometimes it's bright and stinky and sticky and sometimes its more on the dry side with brownish tones - again still smokeable even if bag appeal is meh and the smell is like it's been sitting with a boveda for a couple months - dude you paid $69 does it smoke ok and get you high? yes - at least for me
Another place that just came to mind is JustCannabis, i've been getting emails from them recently with 2oz for ~$85 or so - price and strain vary and its usually a one day thing first come first serve but probably worth signing up for the emails
you can see my low cost cannabis reviews here: (

also check out my referrals (
https://marimoko.biz/big-list-of-referrals/ ) to save extra cash, one guy ordered a $69 or so JustCannabis oz with whatever $20 or something referral, if you can save the green then do it right?
good luck friend!
