As part of their sentence, the pair is completely barred from Tesco in Milton, Co-op in Burwell, MICA Sawston and Bottisham Post Office for two years.
They must not "enter any shop that sells products of any sort in the county of Cambridgeshire in the company of the co-defendant".
PC Beatrice Ley, who investigated, said: "Pilgrim and Holland are well known within the retail industry across Cambridgeshire for shoplifting. The pair have a number of convictions against their names.
"We hope this Criminal Behaviour Order will put a stop to their offending and provide businesses some respite. Any breaches of this order could land the pair a prison sentence."
