With the New Year upon us, people up and down the country will elect to kick-start 2025 with a trip to the shops to stock up on essentials.
Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are all great options if you’re feeling a little cash-strapped right now (and let’s face it, who isn’t?), but like most supermarkets their opening hours will be a little different on New Year’s Day.
Below, we take a look at the New Year’s Day opening and closing times at all three chains.
