I think you make a good point. Currently, the way it works is that you buy a unit per an item. But for any items where you frequently buy, that doesn't seem very effective. So I would suggest that we be allowed to buy them in a bulk. You may buy ONE unit of condom OR buy a pack of, say, TEN or DOZEN for condom. Obviously, buying a pack would be more effective than buying either ten or dozen units individually. Once you brought a pack, it will automatically add the units from that pack to your inventory so no need to unpack them manually (like in The Sims 4 for certain items)One problem that I had trouble with is the fact that if you buy multiple units of a single item (say condoms) the time it takes to buy them is the time it takes to buy one multiplied by the number you buy. So if you buy 200 condoms instead of 1 the time it takes is 200 times what it would take to buy one. This turned out really bad when I bought 1000 joints (so, I'm a pot head)
Furthermore, I suggest adding warehouse clubs (think Sam's Club and other similar places) where you may buy different items in even larger pack. In the real world, I am uncertain if any warehouse clubs do sell condoms but you can buy larger bulk for food, drinks, and so on in these places.
Now, you may need to look more carefully at how much it will cost to buy in individual units and in packs. Some items may cost more in packs than individual units. You need to weigh the trade-off, whether the time savings is worth more than money. Maybe more time may allow you to not only make more money, thereby making up for the losses, but also to allow you to replenish your stats more. It is all about balancing act. Strategy is the key.
