If I knew where I could get locally made aioli 15km up the road form me, I'd get it, but I'm not aware of anywhere near me that does this. Of course, I could always buy the local ingredients and make my own, but it's not a high enough priority for me.

Yep, I know that SPC sell canned local product, but with volumes I consume, I find that I end up throwing out more from the opened can than I consume. Doesn't seem like a sustainable approach to me (and I HATE wasting otherwise perfectly good food when there's so many people who can't even afford to feed themselves properly). Frozen is a good option for me and buying a locally sourced product is a good compromise. Not to say that it suits everyone, but it works best for me.
