shop around - you get better deals on some stuff in some places than others....
know whether your toilets are S-trap or P-trap, space you have to play with etc...
check to see which brands are serviceable and parts are easy to obtain - e.g. internals on toilet tank / fittings for faucets...
call around to see who has grout the cheapest - and get a real good buddy with a van to make the runs - can save on transport...measure all your rooms and tile-able surfaces - work out how many tiles you need yourself based on the tile / finishers / %spoil
inquire return policy on all un-used items - some ppl say once it out of stock - they not accepting returns or 10% restocking fee etc.
most places gonna be swamped for the christmas season - so make some runs and make notes etc...
