So here’s your simple takeaway: Sainsbury’s is open on New Year’s Day, but with reduced hours. Go between 9 AM and 6 PM. Check online first. Buy the milk, the bacon, and maybe a cheeky tub of ice cream for old times’ sake.
You deserve a nice start to the year. And that nice start might just begin with a warm croissant and a cup of tea, rescued by a very well-timed trip to Sainsbury’s. Happy New Year, and happy shopping.
