I've been trying to find in rules somewhere that spells out that you cannot play anymore treasures after making a buy (barring special cards).

The question came up in a game and even in the base rules I could not find anything in black and white to support it. I know you can't but I can't find it in writing to show someone who doesn't believe it. He believes that since you can play treasures in the buy phase, you can play them anytime. Thus if there is a Grand Market, have 2 buys, 2 gold, and 3 coppers, he believes you can play the 2 golds, buy a Grand Market, then play the 3 coppers and buy something.

The rulebook of the second edition of the base game, in the section on the buy phase, says the following

Thanks. Somehow I missed that in looking at the Base game rules.

Also in Prosperity, the first expansion where it mattered:

"During the Buy phase, playing Treasures comes strictly before buying cards; once a card is bought, no further Treasures can be played. This can be important, for example with Grand Market or Mint."
