IDK about Iceland, but in the supermarkets I know, people rarely nick food out of hunger. They are mostly targeting more expensive merchandise to sell/exchange

- giraffe_lady 1y agoWhere I am it's kind of in between the two I think. People are not normally shoplifting nutritional staples, which are fairly cheap as far as it goes. It is more like "treats," often for their children, things like name brand cereal, pop tarts, cake mix. And then things that are excluded from SNAP like rotisserie chicken, alcohol, pet food, vitamins, dish & laundry detergent. And of course baby formula when possible. But that has been locked up for decades now.
