I am a small company that normally buys 100,000 a year in materials. I live in a big city, nost of the small supply houses are over priced. The supply house I use always has better prices than Lowes or HomeDepot. It took me a while to get the prices down, but they seem to be better than average. I also order some stuff like wirenuts from mail order places. Buy in bulk save alot over one or 2 bags at the supply house.
