Yes, be careful though. Both stores have a suspicious history when it
comes to "bargain" delicatessen products.

I', concerned about this particular example because I'm a farmer in
Italy producing a few tonnes of olive oil per year. Both supermarkets
sell "Italian" olive oil cheaper than the cost of production.

OTOH a few months ago I bought a number of air tools[1] from Aldi,
because even if they are disposable chinese rubbish, they were cheap
enough to use until broken then throw away/recycle.

The girl on the checkpout looked bemused because all I had in the
trolley was the "special offers".
