As we start a new year supermarkets are expected to be busy as people stock up on food and drink after overindulging over the festive period.
And as New Year's Day falls on a Sunday you can expect opening hours for stores to be different as we head into the first week of 2023.
While most of the big-name shops were open on New Year's Day, some kept their doors closed like they did on Boxing Day.
