Look at your printers, try to network your copier (potential savings of 2-5 cents a print=$10-25 savings per ream of paper or even $100-250 per case. How many cases of paper do you buy in a month?)
Can you send /recieve faxes via internet, a lot won't need to be printed, plus you'd save on long distance costs. Are you printing hard copies of everything or using email for corrections, etc.
Mail.. can you qualify for discounts, or are you paying premium for postage? With new changes in postal rates can you eliminate flats and use no. 10 envelopes? Can you purchase some equipment and lay off some employees? (mail inserters, letter openers) Do you do a lot of shipping? consider a shipping system (some can save up to 15% off shipping costs)
If you need more ideas let me know.

Recycling. Big time. No full sheets of paper ever hit the wastebasket. Turning lights of in restrooms. Flourescent lighting systems. Heat (or AC) turned down. Clean the office yourself (no cleaning lady). Go over your past year's expenses and see what you can eliminate (parties, lunches) and stick to a budget!
Good Luck!

less is more....you might pay pennies less to buy bulk but its harder to control, track and stop from disappering....also buying what you need keeps monthly expenses more equall to monthly income....believe it or not your business will not fail if you run out of an office supply for a day or two. We are amercans we over spend.....just don't
