1.Buying in Bulk Most suppliers offer some type of discount when you buy larger quantities of their products.
2.Inventory Management You must be able to manage your inventory by knowing how much stock you have on hand and how much you need.
3.Building Vendor Relationships Get to know the vendors who supply your business with its basic supplies.
4.
Payment Terms Negotiate mutually satisfactory payment terms with your suppliers.

The Purchasing strategy to manage cost and Inventory is right worked out by understanding EOQ - Economic Order Qty  ( which is balance structure in evaluating cost of Ordering as against with Cost of Holding of Materials , ie warehouse cost .

2- spend money only in the purchasing activity nothing else, (delivery , insurance , ..etc
