As the Easter Bank Holiday weekend approaches some of us might be starting to panic that we haven't got enough provisions in the house - particularly if we're expecting family or friends.
Often, we go to the supermarket and it’s like the world is about to end. Everyone and their granny is battling around the shelves stocking up on ‘essentials’.
But there’s no need to worry. Most shops are still open. And although supermarkets run limited hours and are closed on Easter Sunday – when we were young they were closed every Sunday, go figure – a little planning will help you to keep the household running smoothly should you start to run out of the staples or you have forgotten the joint for Sunday lunch.
Here’s the low down on supermarket opening hours this Easter weekend:
ASDA
Good Friday 7am – 10pm
Saturday 7am – 10pm
Sunday CLOSED
Monday 7am – 8pm
Morrisons
Good Friday 6am – 10pm
Saturday 6am – 10pm
Easter Sunday – CLOSED
Easter Monday – 8am – 7pm
Sainsburys
Good Friday 7am – 10pm
Saturday 7am – 10pm
Easter Sunday – CLOSED
Easter Monday 9am – 7pm
Tesco
Good Friday 7am – 10pm
Saturday 7am – 10pm
Easter Sunday CLOSED
Easter Monday 9am – 6pm
Waitrose
Good Friday 8am – 8pm
Saturday 7am – 9pm
Easter Sunday CLOSED
Easter Monday 8am – 6pm
So, apart from limited opening on Monday, the shops are only closed for a day. Don’t panic! Just ‘keep calm and carry on’.
Happy Easter!
