Very nice writeup. The wine really struck me, because there was a discount+rebate a while ago on one of my favorites and got a couple extra bottles. Months later I wish I'd stocked more, both because that year went out of the store, and the discount was significant!
I do tend to shop at the bulk stores for lower prices and convenience, but never considered the power of bulk-purchase returns if you get a good discount or up-front price. Food and food-related items that store well probably top the list of things to do this with, but anything technology related is probably going to net you negative returns.
