cash-and-carry

a method of buying and selling goods at the retail level where the buyer pays cash for the goods and carries the goods away. (As opposed to paying on credit or with the cost of delivery included.) Sorry, we don't accept credit cards. This is strictly cash-and-carry. I bought the chair cash-and-carry before I realized that I had no way to get it home.
