Oh organised shoplifting... hmmm. People organise to shoplift razorblades? Sheesh. expensive stuff I can understand, you can sell it and make money on it, but I didn't figure you could make all that much on razorblades... of all things...

The razorblades we are talking about aren't cheap stuff. They cost about $18 for eight blades. That's not cheap.

How exactly do you go about concealing a steak anyway?

I saw a video on TV of a woman stealing a turkey. She stuffed it under her shirt and walked out looking pregnant.
 
It's interesting that one would risk prosecution just to have smooth legs or cheeks. Or am I naive and there is a more nefarious purpose for the razor blades?

I think it is just an easy thing to steal. If your shopping list is going to cost you $100, why not knock it down to $80 and steal something very expensive and small? It's certainly easier than stealing a frozen turkey or a twelve pack of soda.

Relatively yes, it is. I know what you're talking about considering I use those expensive razor blades myself... but really. They're not *that* big a part of my monthly budget that I'd actually want to go through such bother to get them sheaper - now books on the other hand... there's something that could tempt me.
 
It might be hard to stuff a hardcover book down your pants and not walk out the door funny. But if you want to try it, go ahead-and let me know if you're successful! :D

You know, with such a challenge I may just try...
 
Coffee is on the list? :confused: That's one of the cheapest, if not money losing things for stores to sell. It could be worse,they could be shoplifting items of greater value than coffee.
 
I don't know up here coffee is running about $8.99 per pound :eek: I was just reading this thread thinking, yep next time I go to the store I'm wearing some baggy clothes with big pockets :D

LOL-Where I live, that's the price of Starbucks in stores. Regular Folgers and other regular line coffee runs roughly $4.00.

Oh darling, I am SO sorry, do you think you can find it in your heart to forgive me? Even though I'm a regular visitor amongst friends and family in the Netherlands? :p
