shopping sprees

Buying binge outings

A shopping spree is a bout of enthusiastic, often excessive purchasing—buying many things in a concentrated period: She went on a shopping spree after her bonus came through.

The spree suggests abandon and indulgence, spending freely without the usual restraint.

The plural emphasizes repeated episodes or multiple people engaging in such buying binges.
