Inflation, supply chain challenges, and rising operational costs have made it more important than ever for organizations to stretch their budgets. But here’s the good news: many of the items you buy every single day can be purchased for far less — if you know where to look.
The truth is, most businesses pay more than they should for routine supplies simply because they’re buying alone. Joining a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) like Buygility gives you instant access to pre-negotiated pricing normally reserved for the biggest buyers in the country.
Here are the top 10 everyday purchases you should never pay full price for — and how Buygility helps you save on each of them.
1. Office supplies
Paper, pens, folders, ink cartridges, notebooks, envelopes — these small items add up fast. With GPO pricing, you can save anywhere from 10% to 30% on everyday essentials while maintaining the brands you already trust.
2. Printer ink & toner
One of the most overpriced items in any office, ink and toner are notorious budget drains. Through Premier’s contract portfolio, Buygility members receive substantial discounts that can save hundreds or even thousands per year.
3. Cleaning & janitorial supplies
Disinfectants, can liners, cleaning tools, floor cleaners, and sanitizing products are non-negotiables for every organization — but they don’t have to be expensive. GPO contracts offer consistent, reliable pricing on items you buy frequently.
4. Technology & IT accessories
Computers, monitors, keyboards, cables, routers, and software can become major cost centers. Through Buygility, members access savings on IT products and telecommunications services, helping reduce both upfront costs and long-term upgrades.
5. Foodservice & breakroom items
From coffee and snacks to pantry staples and cleaning supplies for shared spaces, breakroom purchases quickly accumulate. GPO savings apply to everything from beverages and disposables to sustainable product lines.
6. MRO & facility maintenance products
HVAC filters, tools, batteries, lubricants, plumbing supplies, lighting, and general repair products are often purchased at full retail markup. With Buygility, you can unlock lower, more predictable costs across thousands of MRO items.
7. Medical & clinical supplies
For healthcare providers, these savings are especially critical. GPOs provide discounted access to wound care products, PPE, dressings, gloves, syringes, and other clinical essentials — helping you deliver quality care without the financial strain.
8. Uniforms & workwear
Whether you need scrubs, safety gear, security uniforms, branded apparel, or industry-specific clothing, GPO contracts keep costs low while maintaining durability and compliance standards.
9. Shipping & business services
Shipping fees, printing services, advertising tools, HR services, and background checks often come with hidden markups. Buygility members receive negotiated rates that reduce administrative costs across the board.
10. Telecom & mobile services
Phone plans, data services, and communication tools can put a major dent in your budget. GPO pricing offers savings on wireless plans, VoIP systems, communication hardware, and more — ideal for businesses with multiple locations or mobile teams.
Why pay less? Because you can.
The surprising truth is that you’re probably already buying most of these items — you’re just paying more than you should.
By joining a GPO like Buygility, businesses and organizations gain:
✔ Instant access to pre-negotiated pricing
✔ No membership fees or minimums
✔ A massive contract portfolio covering nearly every spending category
✔ Support for activating and managing your contracts
✔ Supply chain stability and vendor reliability
Whether you’re running a small local office or a multi-site enterprise, these savings add up quickly — and they can make a real difference in your bottom line.
