These kinds of purchases can mean great savings. One on my favorite condiments/ingredients is "Kitchen Bouquet." It adds to browning, during cooking, and has a slight caramel essence to it. My Dad used it in so many gravies and sauces, and he brushed a bit on almost all meats that were to be baked/roasted.
The only bottles that I've ever seen in markets is the 4 OZ., which has been creeping up in price to an average of the $6.00 range. I found it online, at 1 quart for about $15. The last time I ordered it was about a year ago, and I have almost 1/2 bottle left. I just looked, for purposes of this post, and see that you must order a 2 quart minimum, now. That runs $26, which is still a huge savings. I don't think it goes "bad," so storage space would be the biggest draw-back to that.
divtal, I wasn't familiar with that product, "Kitchen Bouquet", but I Googled an image and the bottle does look vaguely familiar. Must've been something my mom used years ago. Which leads to my next question: how do you use that stuff? If it is sold in 4 oz. bottles, it must be highly concentrated. (Oh, and I looked for it in the store last night, figured it'd be near the Worcestershire Sauce section, or thereabouts, but I did not see it. Maybe it's in some other grocery section entirely.)
