bulk shopping

Buying in volume

Bulk shopping is buying goods in large quantities, typically at lower per-unit prices.

The practice appeals to families, businesses, and bargain hunters willing to store extra inventory: We do our bulk shopping at Costco once a month.

Warehouse clubs and wholesalers specialize in bulk shopping, offering oversized packages of everything from paper towels to canned goods.
