Seems there was a site operating that had a database of bar codes to download and print out onto your own stickers. You then go shopping with them for deep discounts.

that is incredible! I can't believe people have actually gotten away with doing this!

Hard to do - they suggest going to the self check out but if the weight does not match the item the check out will reject it. You need two items the same weight and wide apart in price.

People work harder at stealing that the same effort that would earn the item honestly!
