With another holiday weekend fast approaching supermarkets are likely to be busy – especially as some will close their doors early on Easter Sunday.
Shoppers in Edinburgh are urged to be aware of revised opening and closing times for some stores starting on Good Friday and running through to Easter Monday.
While many of the big chains vary their opening hours from store-to-store, we've taken a look at what people can generally expect this weekend.
Aldi opening hours
Aldi will remain open in Edinburgh throughout the weekend.
Good Friday (April 2): 8am to 10pm

The Asda superstore at Sandpiper Drive in Leith will remain open for 24 hours through the holiday weekend, although it's again worth checking your local shop as times may vary.
Lidl opening hours
Lidl stores will remain open as normal in Scotland throughout the Easter weekend, despite stores closing on Easter Sunday in England and Wales. Taking the Easter Road store for example, the hours are as follows:
