How About a Cheap Trip to Rome With Those Groceries?

Talk about an impulse buy. British supermarket chain Aldi has announced that its customers will soon be able to purchase discount holiday packages along with their canned goods and fresh produce. Sounds like a dangerous combo: I have a hard enough time resisting the magazines and chocolate bars at check-out, let alone a discount weekend in Rome.

What’s a supermarket chain doing selling vacations? I can just imagine the row if Wal-Mart started peddling vacations.
