Big box - what is it?
Not to be confused wif da economy/bulk price dat you gain from purchasing super-sized-containers of groceries and household products at places like Sam's Club or Costco, this snortingly-sarcastic term refers to where a company packages their products in a much-larger cardboard package than said items actually take up, giving THEM the "discount", since they charge about as much for said parcel of goods as that seemingly- larger amount should logically cost.
To save space in my cupboard, I was able to fit almost two times the number of granola bars in a box as were in there originally --- talk about a big-box "discount"!
What does "big box" mean?
A large store (superstore) run by a major corporation.
No one knows where the term came from (Because the store's goods are shipped in big boxes? Because the store looks like a big box?) As a result, anyone using the term should be slapped with a large trout for using a phrase which they themselves don't really understand.
In today's financial news, big box store Target is increasing its competition against big box store WalMart. Ow, that trout hurt!
Big box - what does it mean?
Refers to warehouse stores, not because they are in big box-shaped buildings, but because the merchandise comes in big, bulk boxes for stocking items in quantity rather than individual portions. Costco, BJ's, Sam's Club, are big-box stores. Walmart and Target are not.
People who use this term to refer simply to big stores are clueless. Almost all stores are in big rectangular buildings. This is not what the phrase means.
"Save by stocking up at a big-box store."
Big box - meaning
A large department store modeling the architectural design of a warehouse. These are usually built in the suburbs where land is much cheaper than downtown.
So named because they resemble shipping giant boxes plopped in the middle of a sea of parking.

Big box - definition
A Big-Box Store is a large, free standing rectangular single floor store built on a concrete slab. They are incredibly wasteful and ugly to look at having no aesthetic value what so ever. Typically have very large parking lots with no trees.
Also sometimes called a superstore, megastore, or supercenter.
Walmart is a good example of a big-box store.

The new shopping center outside of town has acres and acres of big-box stores.

Big box
A type of psychological affliction that causes a person to only be able to over-shop at “Big Box” stores where anything under the Sun can be purchased which fuels the compulsive hoarding difficulties the person already struggles with.
I have a close relative who is suffering with Big Box Syndrome and it is a fine disorder indeed when another person has it and you are the lucky recipient of their generosity emanating from their pathetic and uncontrollable overspending!
