Day-trip list purchases: for buying a list of low-cost items, a character can buy all of them in a single day's shopping (subject to a max. price depending on where the shopping takes place –e.g. 75gp in the Bazaar, 35gp in Portburg). Note, if you are buying in bulk, the price maximum is for all items of the same kind, e.g., YOu could buy a maximum of 3 Two-handed swords in the Bazaar in one day (20gpx3=60gp, less than 75). If you want to buy in bulk, you have to find a source/manufacturer.
