Easter weekend Armageddon

As the Easter Bank Holiday weekend approaches some of us less organised folks might be starting to worry about having enough supplies in. 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 loo roll, baked beans or bread.

Here’s the low down on supermarket opening hours this Easter weekend:

ASDA
Good Friday 7am – 10pm
Saturday 7am – 10pm
Easter Sunday CLOSED
Easter Monday 7am – 8pm

Morrisons
Good Friday 6am – 10pm
Saturday 6am – 10pm
Easter Sunday – CLOSED
Easter Monday – 8am – 7pm

Waitrose

Easter Sunday CLOSED
Easter Monday 8am – 6pm

Local opening times may vary a little so go online and check the times for your local store.

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!
