buying club
Bulk discount membership
A buying club is a group that pools purchasing power to obtain goods at lower prices than members could get individually.
Members typically pay dues or fees to access bulk discounts, wholesale pricing, or group rates.
The term covers everything from informal neighborhood co-ops buying groceries together to membership warehouse stores like Costco: We joined a buying club to save on organic produce.
