You don't need to sift through the bargain bin to find something good. Here in Des Moines, there are hidden shopping deals everywhere.

• Below are a few of our favorites, from designer bags to bicycles.

Worn

This second-hand store is pricier than a Goodwill or a Plato's Closet, but what you get in return are high-quality pieces that are carefully curated.

• There are plenty of recognizable brands like Kate Spade, Lululemon and J.Crew. And you can find high-end designer bags like Gucci, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
• Plus: You can get an extra deal by shopping at both Worn locations on the same day.

Where to find it: 857 42nd St., Des Moines and 5515 Mills Civic Pkwy., Suite #160, West Des Moines or online.

Atomic Garage

Okay, so the funny thing about this vintage clothing store is that they have a sign saying they're having a 50% off sale — but they're always having a 50% off sale.

Now the retro clothes here aren't everybody's style, but if you have a high school student that's obsessed with Depop or you're searching for some special, one-of-a-kind pieces — this is the spot.

• We've found Boy Scouts uniforms, letter jackets, mod 70s dresses and sick fur coats here.

Where to find it: 127 5th St., West Des Moines.

ReStore

If you're looking to shake up your decor or need some furniture to fill out your space — the Habitat for Humanity ReStore is the spot to go.

• There's a little bit of everything here — construction materials, appliances, rugs and lamps.
• This spot is for the bargain hunters who find joy in the treasure hunt.

Where to find it: 2200 E Euclid Ave., Des Moines.

The weekend

Maybe you've tried, but could never drink enough to make those bottomless mimosa deals worth it.

• The Station has you covered — $4 bloody Marys and mimosas on Saturdays and Sundays. You're welcome.

Where to find it: 3124 Ingersoll Ave., Des Moines.

👋 Linh here. The moment I got a comically tall margarita pitcher at La Cabaña — I knew I had found my go-to margarita spot.

Why it matters: The Southside restaurant's $17.99 pitcher has everything — tons of drinks, ample tequila and theatrics. (And $2 off on Fridays and Saturdays.)

• My friends and I poured at least six big drinks and there was still plenty leftover.

Driving the news: Co-owner and drink mastermind Alondra Duran told Axios she likes to express her creativity through the tropical recipes she creates.

• A big part of that? "Crazy containers," she said.
• And if you don't want a whole pitcher, you can also stop by on Mondays for $1.50 margs.

Plus: There's tons of other drinks to try, including her green apple Lucky Charms margarita, which is returning for St. Patrick's Day.

Where to find it: 1435 Army Post Rd., Des Moines.

👋 Jason here. My first full-time job in journalism paid $10 an hour. Cash was tight, but garage sales saved me.

What happened: My first apartment and then my first home were almost completely furnished for just a few hundred dollars.

• I learned where to find the very best sales in the metro and — even after I got a few promotions — I've continued to bargain hunt.
• Like my shirt? It's probably yours.

My advice: Shop in areas you want to emulate in your life. If you've got kids, for example, focus on sales near schools.

• Here are some of my favorite neighborhoods for garage sale shopping:

Beaverdale

• It's my Goldilocks of garage sales. I've found some treasured items, like original artwork, for great bargains.

South of Grand

• Loads of great stuff but not always the best for deals. These folks know when they're selling a Picasso.

Urbandale

• Great for housewares linked with newlywed sales — merging households that don't need two crock pots. Score.

Auctions often have some of the best deals, especially if you're willing to do a little research and be patient.

A few tips: Don't show too much emotion. Bidders feed on energy and will take a second look at an item if they sense excitement.

• Set your limits. Estate auctions, especially, can be emotional and result in out-of-control bidding.
• Research: Many auctions publish photos online. You can set calendar reminders and alerts for specific treasures on sites like AuctionZip.
