big-ticket
Pricey major purchase
Big-ticket describes items that cost a lot of money: big-ticket purchases like cars, appliances, and homes.
The term comes from retail, where expensive merchandise literally carried larger price tags.
It extends to any substantial expense: big-ticket legislation involves major government spending.
