Business local travel expenses

I understand that driving from my home to my business location is a commute and, therefore, not deductible.  However, if I stop by a supplier to purchase business-related supplies on the way to my business location, are the extra miles deductible?

Thanks, that is a helpful explanation.  BTW, the link included in your reply does not mention this specific topic if that was the intention.
