retail prices

Consumer purchase amounts

Retail prices are what consumers pay when buying goods or services directly from stores or other sellers.

This distinguishes them from wholesale prices, which businesses pay when purchasing in bulk.

Retail prices have risen sharply this year.

The term often appears in economic discussions about inflation and consumer spending.
