bargain hunting

Chasing low prices

Bargain hunting is the practice of searching for goods at reduced prices—scouring sales, clearance racks, thrift stores, or online deals.

A bargain hunter seeks value, whether out of necessity or sport: She spent Saturday morning bargain hunting at estate sales.

The term can extend beyond shopping to any pursuit of undervalued things: bargain hunting in the stock market.
