You can set up a garden and greenhouse to grow plants. Grow Creep Cluster, Scaly Pholiota, and Mora Tapinella (6 plants each of Creep Cluster and Scaly Pholiota, and 10 plants of Mora Tapinella, with a few plots left over). You can harvest a total of 30 of each ingredient, once every three days.
So whether you simply use the in-game "wait" mechanic, or go off on other adventuring, you can get a ton of ingredients quickly. Once you have 150 of each ingredient (five total harvests), go to Arcadia in Whiterun. Alternate between making a batch of potions, and then training with Arcadia, and selling your potions to her to pay for the training. Those 150 potions, combined with the training from Arcadia, will easily get you to 100 Alchemy in one sitting (assuming you are picking up the Alchemist/Physician/Benefactor perks as they become available, and are using the Thief stone).
My favorite part of Alchemy is h... less

The 90% of potion's price comes from Waterbreathing, so you can mix it with Nordic Barnacle or Chicken's Egg if you don't have Histcarp
Going fishing like a bear and stealing salt =P
Then I'm a master at the craft? Pretty nice, fits my RP and its easy/simple!
