market basket

Grocery store carrier

A market basket is a selection of goods used to track prices or measure economic conditions.

Economists compare the cost of a standardized market basket over time to calculate inflation.

The term extends to any representative sample: a market basket of stocks, a market basket of healthcare services.

Literally, it's simply a basket for carrying purchases from the market.
