bulk buy

Large quantity acquisition

To bulk buy is to purchase goods in large quantities, typically to secure a lower per-unit price: We bulk buy toilet paper at the warehouse store.

A bulk buy is the purchase itself: That was a good bulk buy on printer paper.

The practice assumes storage space and eventual use of everything acquired.
