buying frenzy
Consumer spending craze
A buying frenzy is a period of intense, often irrational purchasing activity, typically driven by fear of missing out, perceived scarcity, or market euphoria.
The phrase appears in contexts ranging from retail (The toy sparked a buying frenzy before Christmas) to financial markets (A buying frenzy sent tech stocks soaring).
The frenzy suggests behavior that's rushed, competitive, and not entirely rational.
