DMX Busted at Mervyns

You know those bargain bins that offer discounts because the packages have already been opened? Well, that's where serial arrestee DMX was caught digging for duds this weekend.

Some shocked sources at the "going out of business" sale at the Lakewood, Cal. Mervyns say they saw X -- hence the photo -- loading up on tube socks and gangsta tanks from the 79 cent pre-opened package rack.

We know X has some money -- he actually performed at an event Friday on the Queen Mary -- but he's probably saving that scratch for legal fees.
