The early May bank holiday is upon us meaning it's time to enjoy three glorious days off work, but it does also result in different opening times for popular supermarkets across the UK.

Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S Food Hall, Aldi, Lidl and more all change their Monday hours to reflect the bank holiday meaning there's less time for you to pop to your local store to grab the essentials.

Luckily, as it's not a Christmas or Easter bank holiday, most stores will remain open across the country, just with slightly reduced hours.
