    That is THEFT pure and simple.
    As to punishment it really depends on where you are and what the store tends to do.

    It will depend somewhat on the laws of your state. Most likely it will be fraud or theft or stealing. I doubt they will go with shoplifting, since there is more fraud involved.

    Assuming this is US or Canada, one item with a 35 dollar value, you will get a fine, perhaps probation, "maybe community service"

    Also depending on where, you may even qualify for a first offender program ( assuming you have not done other crimes before)
