I instantly vendor / MB any spare materials I have that are sold by common NPC vendors, as most market prices are in or around the same range. Saves stress and doesn't cost too much time, since the FC house and Beast Tribe vendors take care of a lot of the annoying ones (like ingots and cloth and so-forth). I do this the same and have all crafters almost to 50, and even with one dedicated to food and leather, I still have half my 4th retainer empty for furniture.
