Convenient way to set "root of my project"?

I'd like for commands like "grep" and "find file" to open at the root
of my "project" (I know emacs has no knowledge of projects).  Does
anyone do / use something similar?

For example, I'm in /foo/bar/blah/doo/woo/file and I M-x grep, it's
based in /foo/bar/blah/doo/woo/ and I don't want to take the time to
change the path every time - 99% of the time I want to search my
current project (let's say /foo) for something.  Ditto for find-file,
changes are the file I want isn't in /foo/bar/blah/doo/woo/, but
somewhere further up the tree (and down another branch), I'd love to
start at /foo.

Ideas?  Or maybe I'm using both of these wrong and someone can tell me
the proper emacs-foo?

Thanks,
Brett
