May Bank Holiday Supermarket Opening Times Guide

The early May bank holiday is nearly here, granting three days off work, but it also brings altered opening hours for major supermarkets across the UK. Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S Food Hall, Aldi, Lidl and more will adjust their Monday schedules, meaning less time to visit your local store for essentials.
