Hollywood On Sale: Post-Holiday Deals For A Shriveled Wallet

Hollywood Patch has been hoofing the chain stores in Hollywood and reports a closet of clearance deals from boots to guitars to Hello Kitty erasers. For the cheapest of the cheap Patch recommends the sidewalk jewelry kiosk in front of Hollywood and Highland for $1.99 sale prices. Throw in a nickel allergy and an earring/necklace combo for $3.99.
Also noted, the Gap's got 40 percent off already on-sale prices (think: $69 sweater, reduced to $39 + 40% off = $23.40) and practically free tanks and t-shirts. Boots and shoes are marked down at Nine West and American Eagle Outfitters has "a mountain of blue jeans" on sale. Down the block on Sunset, Walmart Guitar Center has gear and axes discounted 50 percent. Get the band back together.
