bargain-hunting
Chasing marked-down prices
Bargain-hunting is the practice of searching for goods at reduced prices—scouring sales, comparing shops, clipping coupons.
The term can apply to any pursuit of undervalued things: bargain-hunting for stocks, bargain-hunting at estate sales.
A bargain-hunter is someone who makes a habit of it.
