As much as I hate dollar stores, they can be a good source for shop consumables. I swing by Dollar Tree every few months and pick up stuff like this:
The measuring cups work great for mixing lawn chemicals or paint for the sprayer and at $1.25, they're cheaper than the 32oz paint cups from Lowes.
Scrub brushes and pads paired with LA's Totally Awesome degreaser work well for cleaning up parts or machines. At buck and quarter you can just throw them away when they get clogged up with grease and nastiness.
The turkey basters are great for sucking the juice out of master cylinders so you don't have to pump it all through the bleeders when you're doing a fluid change.
And those rubber bins are a great alternative to those high $$ silicon parts trays when you're tearing something down and need to store or organize hardware or parts. I've found them in smaller sizes at other dollar stores and walmart and use them in my storage drawers to organize hardware and tooling.

I do bike brakes the same way
