SHOPPERS are being urged to plan ahead before they pop to the shops as one supermarket makes a major change to its opening hours.
Iceland is shutting up shop early on Sunday, July 31 because of the Women’s Euros 2022 final.

England will take on Germany in tomorrow’s final, with the match set to kick-off at 5pm.
To celebrate, Iceland and The Food Warehouse are closing at 4pm to give customers and staff time to enjoy the game.
The firms will also stop online deliveries at 5pm.
That means you may need to change the time you pop to the shops tomorrow – or it could be closed when you arrive.
Iceland has more than 800 stores across the UK and The Food Warehouse over 150.
Opening times can vary, but when we checked using a store finder tool, a branch in Birmingham was usually open between 11am and 5pm on a Sunday.
That means shoppers will have an hour less in which to trawl the aisles tomorrow.
And when it comes to delivery, you might want to book your slot sooner rather than later.

You can often book same-day delivery through Iceland to arrive as late as 8pm.
On Sunday, July 31, deliveries will stop at 5pm – the same time as kick-off.
Richard Walker, managing director at Iceland, said: “Sporting achievements like this don’t happen very often so we think it’s only right to give our store teams the opportunity to watch this historic moment.”
If you still need to grab some last-minute essentials, you could always head to a different store.
Most supermarkets are open until 5pm on a Sunday, and convenience stores such as Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local branches stay open later.
The Sun is not aware of any other supermarkets altering their opening hours tomorrow.
