The datagridview is a display container and does not store values (except in memory).
If you want to store/persist the data, you're going to need to either save to a database (which you're saying you don't want to do) or perhaps save it in a text file.
There is a CodeProject article on using CSV:

Hope this helps to get you started.
Cheers.
