A bill of goods is a shopping list, of sorts. A contractor will create the bill and present it and the labor charges to the customer when he quotes a job. When the contractor takes the approved bill to the vendor, the vendor "fills the bill". That means he provides all of the items on the bill to the contractor.
If the contractor adds lots of unnecessary items to that list and tries to get that list approved by the customer, he shouldn't be surprised to hear the customer ask "What sort of bill of goods are trying to hand me?!". You might also hear that if you try to convince somebody to give you money or time for some questionable project. It is similar to asking somebody who is trying to scam you if you look stupid.
