I buy neutral basic colors, white, muslin, black, and gray, by the bolt on sale or a coupon worth using. The key is finding a great sale and buy what you will need for the future and stop thinking I don't need any right now. If alive and sewing you will use it.
OnebyOne, I like your idea of buying whole bolts of solids on sale and with a coupon. I'm not so sure that I'd ever use the whole bolt though. Still, I'd probably find a way, if I had the fabric on hand. Can you recommend any places that offer good coupons and discounts from time to time?
