interesting tip, I may have to try it sometime.
though honestly, the only time I ever really find myself running out of money.. is after buying the Implants, or if I'm on a mod/ammo binge. with most gun-mods being around 150 caps minimum, and many in the 2-300+ range.. (and a personal penchant of trying to get 1 of each weapon fully modded), I tend to always buy up mods that I know I haven't used yet... even if i don't yet have the weapon (as the mods themselves are weightless). I tend to follow the same rule for looting corpses. ie: about all I take from geckos are hides, all I take from ants are the nectar/venom, etc.
Also, after a point i tend to buy up the .50 cal and other big-ticket ammo, once I get the AMR, so that I'll have a good start of supply before I start to use it.
Mainly what i do for money... is I never loot/pick up anything that's not at least 1:10 to 1:20 ratio of weight/money... Cigarettes work great for it... pilot lights aren't bad.. and obviously there's more.. I ignore all the idiotic 1:1 things like forks and such. I USED to hoard the pre-war books.. but now there's 100x as many as in FO3, and there's no BoS librarian to buy them off you.
Also with the broken ease of winning at Caravan... using the 6/8/10 or 7/9/10 setups.. the only time I ever lose a game.... is if I just get too distracted and finish a run too early
