My husband needs to save stuff as vector graphics.

If he doesn't have illustrator, does anyone know of a way?

You can work with Paths in Photoshop (no as well as in Illustrator) and export as Illustrator or EPS files. Whether it will work depends on the complexity of the graphics.

There are other (cheaper) programs which can create vector graphics similar to Illustrator -- I would search at cnet.com ...

If it's a one-time problem, perhaps you can download the Illustrator demo version and work fast ...

I enjoy using Illustrator, though a lot of ppl don't seem to enjoy the steep learning curve.

There is a open source illustrator type program (like gimp) called Inkscape.

I've used Inkscape a lot and love it.
