The best option would be to treat the cost of goods sold as purchases. When the IRS refers to materials and supplies, that applies to manufacturers as they would have that. Since you simply purchase and sell, your cost of goods sold would consist of purchases. You can choose to deduct all purchases in the year you made them or report the unsold purchases as inventory, as long as you use either method on a consistent basis from year to year.
