Turn yourself in to the cops, ok on a seriously note you need to seriously resist the temptation to steal things, maybe it is giving you a buzz and a thrill but one of these days it is going to catch you out. I would advice to seek some form of help before it's too late and you get a crimminal record.

lmao, I doubt the average bit of stealing will get you a record. xD
Perhaps a caution.
It's still goes on your record that you were done for shoplifting.

I went through this myself, and it went on for about a year until I got caught by a shop assistant. I stopped doing it immediately after that, got myself some counselling and have been 'clean' for a year
It is really difficult to face up to and yes it can be an addiction. It's the buzz of defeating the machines and security guards and the thrill of getting something for nothing, but believe me you'll feel so much better if you stop. Your uni or school will have a counselling service of some kind. I advise you to seek their help.
It's called kleptomania. Either see a pyschiatrist (sp?) or just develop a REALLY strong will.

its not worth it in the long run i mean anything on your criminal record any cautions etc can instanlty make you unemployable or much less likely to be employed. don't go in the shops that tempt you, buy off the internet, remove the temptation and you can't do it

Umm actually I just got a criminal record for stealing. And I only stole a bit of makeup which cost around 20$/30$... And it was my very first offence. So you shouldn't doubt it! No matter if you steal a 1$ bar or a $5000 item, you'l get charged the same charge "theft under 5000$". Everybody always gets caught eventually... And it sucks!

Cautions show up on DBS checks so can damage your chances of gaining certain forms of employment. There are not going to be many places who trust a thief.
The OP needs to seek help from a professional. Short term only go shopping with friends who can persuade you not to do such things.
