In reading your list I have replaced all those things (except maybe 2 or 3 of them) on my car in the time I've owned it.  I have spent only about $50 on it this month though, new rear sway links and upper radiator hose...and a can of anti-rust spray....its a good month....bad months have been in the $2000+ category...... I've done about $5k in maintenance on my car in about 3 years, + a $3.8k purchase price....  I don't really care though, I'll pour money into it as long as its in existence.....
