There was a post somewhere about building a calliper accurate truing stand for less than $100US. Damned if I can find it. I thought this was a fun project and a great tip. Another I know is to buy a dremel or engraver and mark all of your tools! I've spent so much over the years and had them walk away. Tools, knives, etc. Mark it. Oh and there are loads of greases and syn-petro product that you can mix yourself or use straight for less than the big names. They often work better and for longer too.
I live in Florida and it rains forever, a decent space heater and an emergency blanket work great for drying out your bike and gear.
