This is a compound noun — the two words act together as a single unit, not as separate words. Unlike an ordinary phrase (e.g., 'a hunter of bargains'), 'bargain hunter' can be placed before another noun to describe a type of instinct, group, or strategy ('bargain hunter instinct', 'bargain hunter group', 'bargain hunter mentality'). It can also be used with an article and adjective ('she is a dedicated bargain hunter'). The plural form is 'bargain hunters'.
