Some might argue that bargain hunting has lost its glory.

Pearl River, Target, Loehmann’s, and Old Navy all sell adorable clutches for a couple bucks. No cheapo badge of honor to be had there. A better challenge? Finding plum steals without hitting the usual suspects.

You So Smart
Left Bank Books (304 West 4th Street, between Bank and West 12th Streets; 212-924-5638) peddles used, rare, and out-of-print titles. Everything from art books to first editions — many starting at $3. Now that’s a best-seller.

You So Fly
Thrifty opps should (but, alas, usually do not) come with the boho look. Beads in all colors and styles start at $7 at Beads on Fifth (376 Fifth Avenue, between 35th and 36th Streets; 212-244-6616). Oh, and guess what’s cool again? One earring. Garnish’s dot earrings (you know, those itsy-bitsy plated-metal dots sold at pricey boutiques) are only $10 per at Auto (805 Washington Street, between Gansevoort and Horatio Streets; 212-229-2292).

You So Sweet
Oh! My God! I Miss You postcards by Tokyo artist Yoshitomo Nara are so cute they may inspire the lost art of letter writing. Thirty cards: $9.95. (Alphabets, 2284 Broadway, between 82nd and 83rd Streets; 212-579-5702)

You So Chill
Want serenity without paying a feng shui hack? Nine bucks gets you a set of river-rock candles and holders that purports to promote a peaceful state of mind. (Hey, as long as you believe it.) (TAO Living, 298 West 4th Street, at Bank Street; 212-242-7776)

You So Pretty
Be Mini Spa (173 Ludlow Street, between Houston and Stanton Streets; 212-253-5665) is having a get-ready-for-spring special: ten bucks gets you a polish change and a twelve-minute foot soak.

Now your feet are ready to hit the streets.

Where the treasure trove awaits.
