Christmas has been and gone and with it, many families will need to visit the supermarkets to restock their supplies after a day of overeating.

After being shut on Christmas Day shoppers flocked to supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco and Morrisons on Boxing Day. There are also be some bargains to be had as Christmas stock is reduced to clear and the sales begin.

However, while some of the big supermarkets were open on Boxing Day others did not open their doors.
