THE New Year has arrived and Brits are looking to stock up their cupboards after a busy festive period.

But anyone needing to hit the shops on New Year's Day should be aware that opening hours are often different than usual.

We take a look at the opening hours for Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and M&S.

Aldi

The supermarket is CLOSED on New Year's Day after shutting early on New Year's Eve.

All Aldi stores were shut on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, only reopening on Monday, December 27.

Now, they will be back open on January 2 – but with limited hours outside of Scotland until January 4.

Check your local stores for opening times depending on your location.
