If, while you are preparing the notebook in Mathematica, you execute:

SetOptions[SelectedNotebook[], Saveable -> False]

This will cause the notebook to be simply discarded if it is closed. The 
Save menu option is grayed out, but you can save such a notebook using 
Save As.

This option is often useful when your program creates temporary display 
notebooks of various sorts that are not meant to be saved.
