shopping spree
Retail therapy session
A shopping spree is a bout of enthusiastic, often excessive purchasing—buying many things in a short period, typically for pleasure rather than necessity.
The term carries connotations of indulgence and abandon: She went on a shopping spree after getting her bonus.
A spree implies momentum and a temporary suspension of restraint.
