I thought that was weird as well but then I discovered that once you craft an item, you will not need to craft it ever again. If you meditate, your Dwarven Spirit or Alcotest will replenish your bombs and potions. That's why those two items need to be hoarded. It is a big difference from Witcher 2 I know.
