Aldi has joined Woolworths in opting not to sell Australia Day merchandise ahead of the national holiday, which marks the arrival of the First Fleet on Jan. 26, 1788.

The supermarket giants will not sell themed items like thongs before Jan. 26 this year, despite stocking such products in previous years.
