Buy a composition book. You can usually pick them up pretty cheap on back to school sales. Staple a few envelopes inside and you have a perfect travel journal with pockets to hold museum tickets and mementos for cheap.
Buy convertible pants. The kind with zippers that turn into shorts. These are great for places that are hot during the day and cool at night or if you need to wear pants in a church or if you just want two different looks.
Get a collapsible hamper for trips like cruises or if you are staying in one hotel and you are doing laundry. They usually fold flat and take up very little room in your suitcase. It also makes transporting your laundry to the laundry room a breeze.
Speaking of laundry, if you are going on a cruise pack your quarters in a baggie and use them for laundry. Cruise ships often run out of quarters in the laundry room. Don't forget to pack your dryer sheets either, they are costly in the vending machine.
Also, try to collect free samples of laundry soap or buy the travel size (3 oz or less) to bring with you. This will also save money. If you are checking luggage (which I don't recommend) you can fill a plastic water bottle with laundry soap. If it's the liquid kind make sure to put the bottle in a baggie too. You don't want soapy clothes.
