bulk-buying
Quantity discount shopping
Bulk-buying is purchasing goods in large quantities, typically to secure lower per-unit prices.
Retailers bulk-buy from wholesalers; consumers bulk-buy household staples at warehouse stores: We do our bulk-buying at Costco.
The practice trades storage space and upfront cost for long-term savings.
