Howells was caught shoplifting last year after a court heard she turned to crime again when she started taking class A drugs following the tragic death of her daughter.
She now has more than 110 offences to her name.
The defendant was locked up for eight weeks.
Howells, of no fixed abode, will have to pay compensation to B&M and Iceland.
