Especially as it's a Sunday.
I know Waitrose is closed, what about Sainsbury's and Tesco?
TIA

Late on Christmas Eve is the time for meat bargains.

choosername1234 · 23/12/2021 19:22

Sainsburys will be closed on Boxing Day this year

dementedpixie · 23/12/2021 19:23

Look at the festive opening hours for stores near you

ISpyCobraKai · 23/12/2021 19:23

Asda isn't, I believe Tesco is.
Not sure about Morrisons.

ItsSnowJokes · 23/12/2021 19:24

Tescos are open. Sainsburys are all closed on boxing day.

dementedpixie · 23/12/2021 19:25

I'm in Scotland and my local tesco is open 9-6 on boxing day

dementedpixie · 23/12/2021 19:27

Local Morrison's shut boxing day
Local asda 9-6

The info is online so look for it

BlackberrySky · 23/12/2021 19:28

It's best to check locally as different size stores do different things. Just Google your local ones.

Woeismethischristmas · 23/12/2021 19:33

I’d agree with a pp that late Xmas eve is bargain time. Depends on the store though a lot give to olio rather than reduce.

Twinkleylight · 23/12/2021 19:41

Morrisons and marks and spencer food hall closed on boxing day.

This, way quicker and more accurate to Google the actual shop you want to go to. There's no one answer for every supermarket in the whole country

Most of our local supermarkets now donate the unsold Christmas food after closing on Xmas eve. So maybe best going late Xmas eve.

ChimChimeny · 23/12/2021 20:07

AIdi and lidl are both closed

My mum got a bargain Turkey roast thing latte Christmas eve last year. Defoe a good time to.try

AD80 · 23/12/2021 20:38

Some are, some not. Personally I think they should shut. I think Sainsburys usually shut? My local Asda is open but it's only a small one like a convenience store !

Sausagis · 23/12/2021 20:46

Don't forget Olio - free food :) In my area Olio can get a little overwhelmed with food on Christmas Eve so please help us out if you can by scheduling in checking Olio and maybe popping out to pick up a few bits Smile

DrunkenKoala · 23/12/2021 21:20

My local Tesco is open. Sainsbury’s and M&S are closed.

LynxGiftsetAndSocks · 23/12/2021 21:25

retail are finally getting time off to be with family like everyone else

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 24/12/2021 13:38

Our local Asda is also open, I checked, in case we forget something before DM gets here.

Soubriquet · 24/12/2021 13:40

Most supermarkets are closed oh Boxing Day this year due to public demand

megletthesecond · 24/12/2021 13:44

It won't be discounted on boxing day.

You want 4pm today for reductions. You won't be the only one hunting out yellow stickers though.

TheFairyCaravan · 24/12/2021 13:44

They’re all closed near me.

Pipersouth · 24/12/2021 13:51

Was in Tesco a couple of hours ago and loads of meat bargains! (Repeat to self one leg of lamb is plenty you have no room!)

Mrsfussypants1 · 24/12/2021 13:59

Only our Asda open boxing day around here, it's a big(ish) one too. All of the other retailers in the retail park are giving their staff the day off this year (quite rightly so). M&S and Aldi had reduced their meat early this morning, Asda and sainsburys usually 4pm. Our M&S used to reduce things christmas eve afternoon, but a few years ago at reduction time it turned nasty, real nasty so they've stopped that for the staffs sake.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 24/12/2021 14:15

Tesco and Aldi are

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/12/2021 16:35

I stand by my Christmas Eve recommendation.
Free range goose - 75% off
Free range bronze Turkey - over 85% off.
Plus some very cheap fish for freezing Grin
