A Southampton shoplifter stole more than £1,600 worth of items including cheese and wine from Co-Op, Sainsbury's and One Stop.
Kieron Slack-Travers pleaded guilty to 23 counts of theft from a shop after the spree of offences committed over a matter of weeks.
The 27-year-old stole items worth £1,600.40 in total, including cheese, wine, lager, energy drinks, soft drinks and confectionery.
The items were taken from Co-Op stores at Archers Road, High Street, City Gateway and Ocean Village.

Other stores hit were Sainsbury's in Bedford Place and One Stop on Freemantle Park Road.
The offences took place between February 16 and March 29 this year.
Slack-Travers pleaded guilty to all the offences on April 2 at Southampton Magistrates' Court.
He also admitted to a single charge of possessing a controlled drug of Class B, relating to cannabis he had in Southampton.
Magistrates found that the defendant had a "flagrant disregard for court orders" and ruled that the offences were so serious that "only a custodial sentence can be justified".
They jailed him for four months.
