A Bolsover man caught shoplifting told police he needed to steal to fund his growing drug habit, a court heard.
Daniel Russ had been seen acting suspiciously inside the Somerfield store on November 4 by a security camera operator.
Russ was arrested and confessed he had stolen a bottle of whisky to sell on and fund his growing drug habit.
He had previous convictions for similar offences.
The bench gave him an 18-month conditional discharge and ordered him to pay £85 costs.
Russ, who received incapacity benefit, had not committed theft for five years before his latest offence.
