Paige Griffin, 28, Ann-Marie Beckett, 35, and Karen Beckett, 44, travelled from the West Midlands to raid four stores on Cheshire retail parks.
They stole ￡1,300 worth of gear from Next alone.
The trio, who have four kids between them, were nabbed by police after security staff passed on the registration number of their Nissan Qashqai.
The Becketts, of Walsall, and Griffin of Willenhall, admitted the November thefts to Crewe JPs.
