I bought a bunch of maintenance items at a discount from a guy who sold his Boxster. Normally, I wouldn't stockpile parts but I couldn't pass up a good deal.

I just used the spark plugs a few weeks ago, so I'm down to 2 oil filters/gaskets, 2 drain plug crush washers, 4 spark plug tubes and O rings and an ignition switch. I also have a gallon of undiluted anti-freeze and a gallon of 50/50 mix that I bought when I replaced the water pump.

It makes sense to save on shipping costs, but usually something breaks with fair regularity on my car. So I buy maintenance items that I anticipate using in the next few months when I buy repair parts.
