About Big Steal
Big Steal is a value-focused cannabis brand made by Heritage Cannabis (operating as Heritage Cannabis East Corporation and Heritage Cannabis West Corporation), and it sits within the producer’s “Thrifty” value family of brands. The line is built around big-format, budget-friendly concentrates and flower — most notably live resin sold under the rotating “Thrifty Grab Bag” concept — with the simple pitch of quality that won’t break the bank. Big Steal is sold in Ontario through the OCS and is also listed in other provincial markets.
Quick Snapshot

- Best for: Dabbers and flower smokers who want high potency and big sessions without the big spend

What Shoppers Like
- Aggressive value pricing. The live resin concentrate is listed around $27.95 per gram, positioning it among the cheaper live resin options on the OCS shelf.
- Real live resin, not distillate. The concentrate is made from fresh-frozen whole flower, so it keeps more of the plant’s natural terpene character at a budget price point.
- Strong potency for the money. The live resin concentrate tests in the roughly 73–81.5% THC range, with flower SKUs landing around 20–31% THC.
- Big-format, no-fuss packaging. The dispenser version ships in a durable borosilicate glass dispenser that works in a dab rig, dab pen, or added to a bowl or pre-roll.
Format & Use-Case Chart
| Need | Format | Why Big Steal |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest path to live resin | Live Resin Concentrate / Grab Bag (1g) | Fresh-frozen live resin around $27.95/g; ~73–81.5% THC |
| Easy-to-use concentrate | Live Resin Dispenser (varies per lot) | Borosilicate glass dispenser for dab rigs, dab pens, bowls or pre-rolls |

Tips for First-Timers
- Mind the potency. The live resin sits in the 70–80%+ THC range, far stronger than flower — start with a very small dab and wait before adding more.
- Expect rotation. The Grab Bag is a rotating “white label” product, so the exact strain can change from lot to lot; check the package for the specific SKU you received.
- No dab rig? No problem. Live resin can be added to a bowl or twisted into a pre-roll if you don’t own dabbing gear.
Big Steal FAQs
What is Big Steal?
Big Steal is a value cannabis brand focused on affordable live resin concentrates and dried flower. It is part of Heritage Cannabis’s “Thrifty” value family, with the simple promise of quality cannabis without the big spend.
Who makes Big Steal?
Big Steal is produced by Heritage Cannabis, listed on OCS product pages under Heritage Cannabis East Corporation and Heritage Cannabis West Corporation. Heritage also operates other value brands including Thrifty. Note: Heritage Cannabis Holdings entered a CCAA insolvency process in 2024, so the current producing entity should be confirmed before relying on this detail.
What products does Big Steal sell?
The lineup centres on live resin — a Live Resin Concentrate (sold as a Thrifty Grab Bag) and a Live Resin Dispenser — alongside dried flower such as the BC Organic Sungrown line (Bonkers, Mango Sapphire) and Milled Nuggiez (Hawaiian Punch, Night Train). Lineups change, so confirm current SKUs on OCS.
How strong is Big Steal?
The live resin concentrate is listed in roughly the 73–81.5% THC range. Dried flower SKUs run lower — about 20–26% THC for the BC Organic Sungrown flower and around 25–31% for the Milled Nuggiez.
What is the Thrifty Grab Bag?
The Grab Bag is a rotating, white-label live resin product: each bag contains a live resin SKU from one of the Heritage brands, and the strain can vary from one lot to the next. It is marketed as one of the best concentrate deals in Canada.
Is Big Steal good value?
Value is the whole point. The live resin concentrate is listed around $27.95 per gram, which places it among the more affordable live resin options on OCS, and the flower is positioned for big sessions without a big price.
Is Big Steal a 510-thread vape?
No. Based on current OCS listings, Big Steal is a live resin concentrate and flower brand, not a 510 vape cartridge line, so 510-thread battery compatibility does not apply. Confirm the current catalogue if you are specifically seeking a vape.
Is Big Steal lab-tested?
Yes. As a federally licensed product sold through provincial cannabis retailers like OCS, Big Steal is produced under Health Canada regulations, with cannabinoid content tested and disclosed on each product listing and package.
How is the live resin made?
The live resin is extracted from fresh-frozen whole flower, which helps preserve the plant’s natural terpenes. The OCS listing notes a butane extraction method for the concentrate.
Where can I buy Big Steal?
In Ontario, Big Steal is sold through the OCS (online and via licensed retailers). It is also listed in other provincial markets including PEI Cannabis, Cannabis NL (Newfoundland & Labrador), and Alberta/national retailers. Availability changes, so check your provincial store.
How should I store Big Steal live resin?
Keep concentrates in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct light to preserve texture and terpenes; the borosilicate glass dispenser helps protect the product. Store flower in an airtight container at a stable room temperature, and keep all cannabis out of reach of children and pets.
Is Big Steal a good pick for first-timers?
The flower can suit budget-minded newcomers, but the live resin is very potent (70%+ THC) and is better suited to experienced concentrate users. New consumers should start with a tiny amount and wait to feel the effects.
