Why not leave base with only 2 health potions? 1 to clear the jungle, 1 to make sure you have enough HP to gank. Then you go back to base a little sooner and with more gold =)

Alternatively, you could invest in Utility masteries for the extra starting gold, and start with Machete, a Rejuvination bead and a health potion.
