It’s important to know when the store is open then, as the bank holiday can usually mean store trading hours differ.
The store is even promoting bank holiday “boosters” which are the perfect opportunity to make some cash savings.
You can save £4.50 on any 1L spirit and £3 on packs of beer like Corona.

When is Sainsburys open over the early May Bank Holiday?
Sainsbury’s stores will be open on Bank Holiday Monday but the times your local store opens its doors could differ to others.
Generally though the store is due to open from 8am to 8pm on the day.
That’s slightly different to usual where some store open from 7am to around 10pm regularly.
It means you could loose on average three hours of shopping time compared to normal.
Make sure you don’t need to rush to the shop in the early hours of the morning or late into the evening as you could be left facing a locked door and disappointment.
See Sainsbury’s store locator here for times in your area as it can vary between locations.
It can depend on the store size as well as some Sainsbury’s Locals might shut earlier or later than your nearest superstore does.
On Tuesday, times will return to normal though, so you’ll just have to make sure you know when your local shop shuts on Monday to avoid disappointment on the day.
Is Sainsburys delivering over the Bank Holiday?
You can get a home delivery with Sainsburys this Bank Holiday weekend.
For Monday deliveries the store has ample one hour options still, that cost between £2 and £4.50 depending on the time of day.
You can also opt for one of the £1 saver slots if you want to save a bit of money – and they’re also available even on the Bank Holiday.
If you’re lucky you can nab one of the spots that means your delivery fee is only £1, but you’ll be given a more general time frame of when your shopping will arrive – usually of around four hours.
But this option could mean you spend your day-off waiting around for the Sainsbury’s delivery driver instead of enjoying time at home.
Even though it seems like a major saving, there’s a charge of £7 if you spend under £40 on your shop – so you’ll be spending at least £8 on a delivery from Sainsbury’s regardless so keep that in mind when you shop.

Once the bank holiday is over you might be thinking about the schools returning too, luckily Sainsbury’s has “loads” of school shoes for just £1 – and parents are racing to snap some up.
