The first was on May 12 when he took clothes from Matalan at Queensville Retail Park, Stafford.
On July 2 he went to B&M at Victoria Shopping Park, Hednesford, and stole Ariel washing pods worth £119, before returning to Queensville Retail Park and stealing £800 of baby clothes from Next five days later.
Bullock then targeted Boots at Orbital Retail Centre, Cannock, on July 17, taking baby clothes worth £150 to £200.
On July 26 he stole a £189 Karcher pressure washer from B&Q in Cannock and a Henry Vacuum Cleaner worth £149 from Tesco in Lichfield.
Appearing at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, Bullock was ordered to pay £40 compensation to all six retailers.
He was also fined £120 and given a 12-month community order.
