Hoffman spent $1,000 on drugs in final buy

Philip Seymour Hoffman scored about $1,000 in heroin and coke in his final drug buy, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Tuesday.

The Oscar-winning actor made the purchase from two drug dealers outside a D’Agostino’s near his West Village pad Saturday night, just hours before he was found dead, sources said.

The dealers, both wearing messenger bags, stood next to the drug-addled actor as he withdrew
$1,200 in six installments
from the store’s ATM on Greenwich Street around 8 p.m., sources said.

“That’s when the [drug] transaction took place,” law-enforcement source said.

The brazen drug deal wasn’t caught on video, but cops were scouring area for other surveillance that might show Hoffman or the suspects afterward, including footage from a townhome directly across street from the star’s nearby pad.

Hoffman’s body was found in his apartment just after 11 a.m. Sunday along with 23 empty bags of heroin and 49 sealed bags of the drug, as well as scores of new and used syringes.

A hypodermic needle was found still sticking out of his left forearm.
