I suspect his comment that it won't work didn't mean it wasn't important. I think he was probably teasing that it wouldn't be enough to get the bagels back. (but that's just a guess).

Standardize office supplies - black pens, blue pens, red pens - all one brand, not special types for individuals. Buy the no-name brands if they are cheaper, watch for sales, order in larger quantities if the discounts are substantial. Negotatiate a better discount from your office supplier. 

Catering - eliminate lunch meetings in order to eliminate the catering expense. For all day meetings, order less expensive catering options (i.e. maybe picking up sandwiches at local deli).

Definitely agree with others mentioned.
