So they could be making room for the harvest in 2-3 months. Also this particular store is close to an Aldi warehouse, I shop another infrequently that's far from this warehouse, and the product mix can be different, even the prices vary here or there (though i'm never there on the same day).

Or consumers may have anticipated foreign-source oils will increase in price. It's reading tea leaves.
