Do supermarkets do grocery deliveries on bank holidays?
As the first of three May bank holidays arrives this Monday, May 1, many people are wondering they can get a supermarket delivery that day.
Whether you’re working over the bank holiday or getting together with friends or family, having groceries delivered saves that time-consuming trip to the supermarket.
Even if some of the substitutions – such as toilet rolls instead of bread rolls – can leave you wondering what on earth they were thinking.
With the weather looking good, it’s the perfect time to free up time and dust off the BBQ or just catch up with those DIY jobs.
So are supermarkets delivering groceries and orders on Monday?
Here’s what you need to know.
Are supermarkets doing deliveries on bank holiday Monday?
The good news is that most supermarkets including Asda, Sainsbury’s and the Co-Op, are operating a normal delivery service over the bank holiday Monday.
Unlike Easter Sunday, where trading laws mean stores over a certain size need to close for the day, the bank holiday has no such laws.
You can book a delivery in the usual way online – provided there are slots available.
If you can’t secure a slot and need to pop to the shops, here’s when they’re open.
