From my found old-timey book of hints for the pioneer household (edited and reworded to not infringe on copyright): 
True economy is gathering all fragments of not just stuff but time. Never throw anything out that could be repurposed, even if that new purpose is tiny and seemingly insignificant.
Whatever the size of the family, every person in it should either help earn or save money.
Make things instead of buying them. Learn knitting and crocheting and sewing. These skills could always lead to employment.
Along this same line of thinking, patchwork pieces are a good idea if you use scraps, but a horrible idea if you tear up perfectly good items to make scraps.
