If you stole $121.55 worth of stuff about how much of a fine would you get
 
Misdemeanors generally can get you a year in jail and up to $1000 in fines.

You could also end up paying a civil penalty to the store that you stole from.

You get a criminal record that follows you around for the rest of your life.

If you don't already have a lawyer, you need one. If you cannot afford one, plead not guilty in court & ask if you can be appointed a public defender. You can ask your lawyer/PD about ACD or diversion.
 
Firstly what state is this? Secondly please post to the correct area of the forum. This area is specifically not for legal questions.
 
I am a Retail Theft Consultant and answer questions like yours daily. There is no simple answer. Are you talking criminal fine or Civil Demand? What were actual charges? You should also discuss case with a lawyer to see if there is an alternative sentencing you might plead to that would lessen long term impact this will have on you
