wholesale

Adjective B1 – Intermediate

Relating to selling goods in large quantities, usually at lower prices, to be resold by others, or done on a large scale without exception.

"The store buys its produce wholesale from a regional distributor."

"Wholesale" is also used to describe sweeping change, as in "wholesale reform of the tax system," a sense unrelated to buying and selling.
