Buying It Yourself vs. Contractor Supplied

We're in the process of a bigger-than-me remodel and the question of fixtures came up. We have two open-to-the-public supply warehouses that carries a lot of quality items.

I would personally like going out shopping, buying all the fixtures, toilets, etc. and then providing them to my contractor for use in the project. I trust my contractor and have worked with him quite a bit before. I'm sure he'll have no problem with that.

The question is whether it would save me any money. Do contractors really get a discount on items? Do they mark them up if they do get a discount? Will it be a wash?

Any input is appreciated.
