What can a DIYer do on a budget to improve home insulation?

I don't want to spend a small fortune, but my house is poorly insulated and I'd like to change that. Any tips you'd have for some cheap DIY insulation?

This something I'd only recommend if you really, really know what you're doing. If you cut corners and go the DIY group and use irregular materials, you're opening up the possibility of your insulation being a fire hazard. I would strongly recommend leaving this to a professional company unfortunately.
