Sample/warehouse sales - Time Out NY has a good weekly listing, as does this site.

Century 21 - very uneven, but you're very like to find something like good sheets there. Very cute Kate Spade sets there right now, white with a accent colors approximating AT's banner blue and green.

I second Anne's nomination of some of the big chain stores esp West Elm, TJ Maxx, Target, Pearl River

Flea markets are great but I am often in more of a time crunch and find Ebay a wonderful source as you can shop any hour of the day. I do find myself at estate sales and those can also be good resources.
