I hit one garage sale this weekend because it was on my normal walk with Andy. I ended up with an XL Memory Stor for $5 and a thread rack with the large spindles for $1 . I stopped at a few more and didn't buy anything they were the ones like your talking about. But at one I did find someone who builds furniture. Put his number away for later. And at the first one I found out her husband is a dentist and gets these buckets with dental stuff in. I am going back sometime and getting some for dying fabric. Also hit a estate sale and missed out on a bunch of free sewing stuff but did come home with a hand full of free picture frames and two botanical pictures in frames for $10
