What Supermarkets Are Open Boxing Day
Let’s be honest, we all have that one specific craving on December 26th. Maybe it’s a forgotten ingredient for leftover turkey curry, or just a desperate need for fresh milk and a celebratory bag of crisps. The good news? Many supermarkets are open, but they operate on a bit of a holiday schedule.
Your local Tesco, Sainsbury’s, or Asda? They often open, but not for their usual 24-hour marathons. Think limited hours, typically from 9 AM to 5 PM or 8 AM to 6 PM. That’s right—you can still grab a late-morning pastry and pretend it’s a productive start to the day!
Who’s Your Boxing Day Hero?
Here’s the insider tip: Waitrose and M&S Food generally stay shut on Boxing Day. They give their staff a proper break—and you know what? Good for them! But your saviors are often Co-op and Morrisons, which frequently keep local stores open with reduced hours.
Don’t forget the smaller guys! Local convenience stores or your corner shop are often open and thrilled to see you. They might even have a few leftover mince pies at a discount. That’s a win-win, right?
