Shoplifting Strategies to Save Money

[Tsar]

Let's talk about shoplifting strategies and ways to save money. Nothing too good should be shared publicly but we can form a secret chat group for the good secrets.

I just realized that some squeeze hand lotions in the US have no plastic seal like the ones in Europe. This means, someone can go to that aisle, squeeze a little into a sealable bag and then leave the store with some in a bag.

While in Europe, I was reading the news about detergent prices in the US and how people in the US were stealing detergent. Some stores were putting detergent behind glass. All you need to do is go to that aisle when no one is looking and pour some into a foam coffee cup or an opaque water bottle for free detergent.

Put them back on the shelf, leave with the portion you skimmed from them. Technically, it's not exactly stealing because you put the product back on the shelf and you're only taking some samples to try before buying it.

I'll be posting more strategies soon.

Why are you even encouraging this shit for? People are stealing because they are stupid assholes and America is turning into the worse country on earth with all this dystopian garbage going on. I miss the days when I could go into a store and I didn't have to ask someone to f***ing get the product for me because of garbage ass people who aren't even that poor to begin with is just stealing for the sake of stealing. A homeless man or woman stealing food because they want to eat is one thing. But the majority of people stealing stuff from stores and got everything the way it is now aren't poor.

I don't know how people can just steal stuff for the sake of doing it, the only way I would steal something it would be out of desperation like food or water. I mean my biggest issue with buying things now is that everything is too damn high and expensive. Everyone taking advantage of everyone. The more people do dumb stuff the worse things get. Back in the day they didn't even have stuff behind glass other than jewelry and firearms. But seeing everything locked behind a glass because of aholes is a sad sight to see when you walk into a store. Stores use to be my favorite places to go with my mother as a kid, now I walk into those places and they just look depressing, dark, and cold. Even the employees are unhappy.

There are strategies you can use to save money without having to steal. When you steal you drive the price up for other consumers.

Yes, I know, but it doesn't matter because:
1. They're other people.
2. They have more money.
3. Someone else will buy the product so the store can still sell it, it's the other person who buys it that is unknowingly getting less, from the first two examples.
4. They should have extra security features like Europe.
5. If a person can bypass modern security protect in physical stores, maybe they deserve what they stole.

Of course, I am only advocating this in America and other nations where desperation is increasing and there's more poverty and socioeconomic inequality.

If people don't get a fair chance, then they should steal whatever they can.

@Tsar There are other strategies in North America that a consumer can employ such as extreme couponing to get much or all of their grocery bill for free. I used to watch this series a lot.

There is a grocery store I go to that has a cart of bread with 50% off stickers on it. There is nothing wrong with that bread other than the fact that it's nearing the expiry date. I buy this bread then I freeze it. The same store has 50% off stickers on meat for the same reason and the meat is still good.

A lot of stores will price match too. That means if another store is offering the same product for a better price, the store will match that price.

I think people that steal are just lazy. They can find good deals if they try. They could also have psychological problems such as kleptomania. In other words they don't need to steal, they just do it on impulse.

It doesn't sound like such activity would be worth your while.

No, most people steal out of desperation and because of socioeconomic inequality and an unfair system.

Most whites maybe. Is there a negro in the world who won't steal some kid's unlocked bike?

That's partially the truth but the fact is a lot of people I see stealing aren't suffering from inequality or an unfair system. I know this because I worked security at a Halloween store, and both whites and blacks were stealing costumes, COSTUMES for their kids. They weren't grabbing stuff they desperately needed because they couldn't afford it. People steal a lot more now because the law in CA doesn't' punish theft so now you got everybody stealing stuff, kids, teens, whites, blacks, though the most thefts is obviously Blacks because even with stores that believe in still prosecuting theft, they usually avoid trying to detain blacks out of fear of being labeled "racist." People steal because they want to steal and get away with doing it. A few years ago there were train hijackings where people were waiting for trains to stop and then stealing people's packages. And a lot of these people were immigrants doing this. You rarely hear about homeless people stealing anything from stores they rather just pan handle instead.

I pay for what I buy. Nobody in my family is stealing, not even thinking about it.

To talk about how to save money is OK, but to talk about how to go ahead with shoplifting to get something for free is plainly wrong.

We often compare prices - there are remarkable differences, especially if a product is local or imported.
Same about restaurants, I am mistrusting and sensitive against overpricing and cheating customers.

If you go for a walk to some supermarkets in evening past 9:00 PM, there are many cheap offers about food which was not sold yet, often 40 percent cheaper or even half price. Or something like pay for 2 and get 3. There are also discount offers and also member card if you buy always at the same store or you eat in the same restaurant.

The restaurant we frequently eat, gives us 10 percent of the regular bill.
You can save quite a lot if you are shopping carefully, consider how to save electricity, gas and similar fees, think about phone bills etc.

To be fair, Halloween is a big thing in a lot of kids' lives. To miss out on it because of poverty is a major chunk missing. When people talk about necessities in life they generally mean what is necessary to live a normal, tolerable life. You wouldn't immediately die in the summer in most places without shelter or clothing, but most people would still feel deprived.

Halloween is just a once a month thing though, and they only dress up for one night only. You would think that they would wear the costume for the entire month vs getting it just for one night. I don't know, the only way I'd be okay with theft is if people were being dishonest with pricing. For instance people try to overcharge a lot for certain things and they take advantage of people who are ignorant enough to pay the high fees. Kind of like how my internet service provider tried to get close to $200 a month off me. If I could I'd steal internet vs paying some BS price to use it since the internet isn't even worth the $115 a month I pay for it now.

I just wouldn't casually walk into a store and take stuff off the shelves like it was nothing. I would have be at rock bottom level desperate to just do that..If I were homeless or unable to escape it that's when I would just take what I could...Food, water, body wash, soap, tooth paste, all of that stuff. But it's like I was saying a lot of people who do steal aren't suffering from these problems. They do it just because they can and because CA doesn't punish theft anymore everybody is stealing for the sake of just stealing, including people with good jobs. What they do is steal shit from these stores and then they try to hustle and charge TWICE the amount the stores are even charging. People will either attempt to buy out all the supplies or steal them all, then they get online and resell all the stuff they stole or bought out on purpose for prices that nobody at all can afford because that's how the dicks of this country live.

If a store isn't overcharging for stuff so everyone can afford it, that makes a difference also. Here in CA everything is so damn expensive so it encourages people to steal more because of that reason as well. Bel-Air sells mouth wash for like $20.00
But the 99 cent store sell a lot of that same stuff, same quality. That's why I don't even mess around with stores that try to rip people off when you can just go to the 99 cent store and buy all the same supplies for less.

Where are you buddy? If you are in America, apply for welfare. I don't think stealing is a good idea for you.

I wasn't exactly talking about myself. I want to someday write a guidebook for rogues, renegades, and rebels.
