Daley then returned to the Whitchurch store on February 4, where he was caught stripping a fridge of fish and meat worth more than £200.
The thief made no attempt to conceal his identity during a three-week series of rampages.
Daley was found to be carrying a kitchen knife when he was arrested by officers on February 21.
On February 7, he was filmed alongside two women stuffing Sports Direct and B&M bags with confectionery at the Co-op in Caldicot with £167.60 worth of items.
He appeared in court two days later after being charged with 12 offences of theft, one of attempt theft and one of possession of a bladed article.
Further charges were brought against him in relation to shoplifting offences in the West Midlands.
Asked during a police interview about his grabbing an entire mini egg display, Daley replied ‘no comment’.
He was sentenced to four months imprisonment.
DC Warriner said: ‘Daley is a prolific offender who was brazen in his actions across the country, showing a clear disregard for the law and believing himself above it.
‘Shoplifting is not a victimless crime, and offenders like Daley have a big financial impact on businesses, and emotional impact on those who work there.
‘Daley would have continued targeting businesses across the UK and I am glad to see that he has now been prevented from doing so’
