I want to make some really cheap, temporary tables just to get some clutter
off the floor of my garage so I can sort it all out. I don't have a saw so
I'll need easy cuts that can be made at Home Depot or Lowes.

Something like this Bull Bracket Sawhorse table (upper right image that uses
cross-beam feature) would be just about perfect.

Bull Brackets are too expensive though, so I think I can make the same thing
with some cheap $4 brackets and just drill/screw the table base planks into
the sides.

My question is what would I put on top that would be super cheap (a few
bucks at most) yet sturdy table top? Just strong enough to hold a few boxes
and odds and ends.

Hollow core doors are pretty strong if you can find a few for next to
nothing.

Thanks Steve!

Anyone know where I could find a couple of these? Where to look?

If you have a Habitat "Re-Store" in your area, they are cheap there.
Otherwise, you'll just have to find them where someone is replacing some.

Cheapest?

Take your bedroom door off its hinges. If you got kids already you probably
have no privacy anymore anyway. Have the "little woman" get on her hands and
knees on one end and put a kid on the other end -- or -- if she promises to
start letting you have sex again put a kid on their hands and knees on each
end spaced about 6' apart. You know, just enough to support the door laid
across their backs.

Oh, don't forget to let them kneel on a pillow and put one on their backs
too. Pounding on the table when making some other stuff can get kind of
rough on the little critters.

Well, if they don't want to cooperate you can use 3-4 small scraps of 2x4x3
nailed to the face of the wall studs in the garage. These "cleats" will
support the back edge of a door resting upon them. Use something to hold up
the front edge of the door. Think like a college student and scarf up some
concrete blocks for example and lay them up with a dry bond to support the
front edge of the door. Stick sh!t in the cavities of the concrete block.
Like incense or a candle. Good place to hide the pot too! But I still think
putting the little woman on her hands and knees is the best idea.
