"Buy wholesale" you buy from the wholesale retailer for cheaper. A wholesaler sells the item to a retailer. So for example farmer->wholesale market->supermarket
"Buy in bulk" means buy a lot of something usually for a discounted price.
"Buying 100 cans of dog food is cheaper than buying them individually"

Wholesale can apply to tangible and intangible products/services e.g the wholesale energy market is where the producers get paid for generating energy and suppliers buy the energy for you and me ..you will find a wholesale market in any free open market
