Purchasing supplies and services as a group.

Bulk buying (group purchasing) lowers the per-unit cost for members. The other choices are incorrect or misleading: cooperatives don’t typically “charge more” to sell products as a group; they may distribute surplus democratically, but that’s not the primary way they save members money; and while group financing can help, the main cost-saving mechanism is group purchasing.
