大比丘三千威儀 2.46

Buying meat has five matters: 1. If one sees the meat intact and not yet cut up, one should not buy it immediately. 2. Only after others have cut it up and some remains should one buy it. 3. If one sees that the meat is scarce, one must not buy it all. 4. If the meat is scarce, one must not rashly offer more money to take it. 5. If the meat is already exhausted, one must not say that one intends to buy much.
