August bank holiday weekend is finally here, which means a change to supermarket opening and closing times.
There will be a little less time than usual to do your shopping today, as retailers give staff extra time to enjoy the bank holiday. So if you're looking to stock up on extra food and drink for your street party, or need some other household essentials, be sure to check the opening times before you head out.
