With Easter just a few days away, it's time to start thinking about getting the grocery shopping organised for the bank holiday weekend.
This year Good Friday falls on 19 April, Easter Sunday on 21 April, and Easter Monday on 22 April.
With Good Friday a bank holiday, Easter Monday a public holiday and most businesses shutting their doors on Easter Sunday, it's good to know when your local supermarket is open so you don't get caught out.
