Nathan Crossley, aged 34, lifted steaks worth £70 from an Aldi store in Telford on November 22 last year, and chocolate worth £58 from Co-op in Milners Lane, Dawley Bank on January 2 this year.
Crossley, of Smallwood, Madeley, Telford, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft at Kidderminster Magistrates Court.
Magistrates handed him a six-month community order and ordered him to pay compensation to the tune of £138 - the full amount of the meat and confectionary that he stole.
Crossley must also do 12 rehabilitation activity days. No further orders for costs were made.
