We also do the Sam's club run for our coffee supplies and other kitchen products.  Much cheaper.

Also... one small thing we do is make our own scratch paper.  We keep box lids scattered about the office and instead of throwing paper away we put it in the lids.  That keeps it all straight and even.  Every now and then the receptionist uses our paper cutter and just cuts scratch paper.  We have marks on our cutter so that its the same size every time.  The boss has made it known that we are not to use the manilla legal pads or note pads around the office.  They are only for meetings with customers or special projects.  Actually... most people are afraid to use the bright yellow pads so no one has a problem with using the scratch paper.   I rarley have to buy that type of paper.

Another thing, my boss won't let me buy paper-clips.  I make a daily bank run and every so often I ask for box full.  They are more than happy to fill my bank pouch full.

These are small things.... but eventually they do add up.
