Reminds me of a story I saw here on Reddit early in the pandemic where a mom didn't have enough for cough medicine and boots for her kid so she bought the boots and hid the cough medicine under her purse. As I recall, the boots were a birthday gift for her sick child. Hard times call for desperate measures.

I’m gonna be honest and say I’ve only stolen a few times but times were tough. I did the “buy one get one free” kind of method at certain self checkouts and did a lot of research on the loss prevention at the stores I went to first (certain stores wait until you get a felony amount of stuff to prosecute) and made sure I didn’t go back or repeat visit the same store chain.

It sucks to feel like that though. I didn’t think I was going to be able to give my kid a Christmas without it.
