Keisy Oriental Nature Center (229 E. 9th St., nr. Second Ave.; 212-253-6171) offers a great 60-minute shiatsu and acupressure massage for $45. You won’t get the cucumber water and spa treatment of fancier body-rub emporiums, but Keisy is more upscale than most bargain spas, and the exposed brick in the private rooms has a comfy East Village vibe. Pay in cash (there’s a $3 credit-card fee).
Annual Savings: $780
(Compared with once-a-month $110 massage.)
