0Yes, I'd say a bulk discount, so you can say "bulk discounts" if you need to make it plural.02br

00Sometimes we also refer to "economies of scale" - which means that things cost less per item when you have a very large number of items, because the costs are spread out more.0-

0Yes, but wholesale means directly from the manufacturer, or perhaps the distributor, in contrast to retail, when you buy it in the shops. Wholesale is usually going to be less expensive than retail, but common mortals can't usually do that.0-
