I use those notebooks Walmart has every year for a dime and keep lists, thoughts, half baked ideas, patterns I dream up and so on, in them, but they're not organized so I have to sort through them every time I want something. They're kind of interesting after some time has passed, though...
One thing I guess we didn't really cover was buying things in season, but I suppose everyone knows that. For instance, buying enough corn on the cob for a year when it's at a low price in the mid to late summer. It takes too long to can for it to be a good dollar stretching idea, but it freezes perfectly.
