A single mother has narrowly escaped jail time after scamming Queensland supermarkets for three months.
Kylie Milner, 35, from Ipswich, was caught out gluing fake barcodes for 65c two-minute noodles to thousands of dollars worth of stolen grocery items, the Queensland Times reported.
She defrauded Coles and Woolworths stores from Booval to Springfield, to collect a grand sum of more than $4500.
Self-service check outs were instrumental in Milner’s elaborate scam and she would use them sometimes twice a day to collect her varied bounty of meet, coffee machines, protein powder, toilet paper, disinfectant and sheet sets.

What kind of people think of these things???
So she could most likely afford drugs but not other things? Also, were she actually stealing basic necessities I would have more sympathy. But a coffee machine? Protein powder? A bit of jail time might have been a good wake up call for this lady I think.
It doesn't say she was buying drugs?????!!!!!
