Sainsbury's August bank holiday 2025 opening times - see if your store is open
It is important to know exactly when your local Sainsbury's supermarket will be open this August bank holiday.
The upcoming bank holiday is on Monday, August 25. The vast majority of larger Sainsbury's stores are normally open from 7am or 8am until 10pm or 11pm, Monday to Saturday.
Sunday hours are shorter, with most larger Sainsbury's stores open from 10am until 4pm in England and Wales. Scotland stores will have longer opening hours on Sundays due to different trading laws.
You should find that the majority of Sainsbury's stores will be open as normal on Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24. However, opening times are likely going to be different on bank holiday Monday.
When we checked online today, most larger Sainsbury's stores in England and Wales were scheduled to open at 7am or 8am and then close at 8pm on Monday, August 25. Scotland stores will be open as normal.
Sainsbury's Local convenience stores are typically open from 7am to 11pm every day of the week - and this will remain the case on bank holiday Monday in England and Wales.
Do keep in mind that opening hours do vary, so it is advised that you check the Sainsbury's store locator for the latest details for your area.
It comes after Sainsbury's rolled out Your Nectar Prices at checkouts nationwide. Your Nectar Prices are personalised discounts based on your shopping habits, with customers getting ten discounts every week.
Previously, shoppers could only access Your Nectar Prices through SmartShop, the Sainsbury's grocery app, or online. Sainsbury's claims these offers could save the average shopper £150.
You get one Nectar point for every £1 you spend in stores, with one Nectar point worth 0.5p in return. This means if you earn one point from a purchase it's the equivalent of 0.5% cashback.
You also get Nectar points when you fill up in a Sainsbury's fuel station, or at other brands like eBay, Expedia and Just Eat.
Mark Given, chief marketing, data and sustainability officer at Sainsbury's, said: "We're leading the way by making loyalty personal. Shoppers want to feel recognised and rewarded and while Nectar Prices are for everyone, we know our customers love an offer that is made just for them.
"That's exactly what Your Nectar Prices delivers – it's about giving customers those extra savings on the products they love and buy most."
Sainsbury's closed its remaining 61 in-store cafes in April. The supermarket had previously warned that tax increases from the October Budget would hit it with an extra £140million in costs and lead to higher prices for customers.

Angry Tesco customers 'boycott' supermarket over major meal deal price change
Tesco has announced that the cost of its popular meal deal will increase from Thursday, with some Clubcard members set to face an increased price of £3.85, rising from £3.60 Tesco shoppers have been left fuming after the supermarket giant announced it's hiking up the price of its popular meal deal - with some threatening to boycott it altogether. The popular lunchtime deal allows customers to grab a main item, usually a sandwich or salad, along with a drink and snack for a discounted price. However, from Thursday, the cost of the meal deal will rise for both Clubcard holders and non-Clubcard shoppers. Clubcard members will now be shelling out £3.85, up from £3.60, while those without a Clubcard will see a leap from £4 to £4.25. The store's premium meal deal will also be priced higher, going from £5 to £5.50 for Clubcard holders and from £5.50 to £6 for non-members. The decision has sparked outrage online, with loyal meal deal enthusiasts branding the price increase as 'outrageous'. On Reddit, one disgruntled customer declared: "I will be boycotting the meal deal from [ Tesco ] when this hike occurs." Another shopper chimed in: "That's it, I'm legit done buying these now.", reports Chronicle Live. A third added: "Everybody should refuse to buy these when you could have a week's lunches for a fiver." Reacting to a post on Facebook, one individual, Jason Clifford, stated: "Will not be buying them again." Another reader, Kyle Spencer, commented: "Everything that once was a deal no longer is." However, not all shoppers are taken aback by the change. Marlene Whitehead responded to the news of the increase by saying, "That's still good value." Peter Collins, commented: "It's actually still very good value compared to buying the items separately eg., Costa coffee on its own would be roughly £2.60." Currently, the most popular items in the supermarket's meal deal are the Tesco Chicken Club sandwich for main, Tesco Egg Protein Pot as snack, and Coca-Cola 500ml, which currently costs £6.50 when purchased separately. Clubcard members save £2.65, and non-Clubcard members save £2.25. A Tesco spokesperson told the Mirror: 'Our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on-the-go at just £3.85 for a main, snack and drink when bought with a Clubcard. 'With more than 20m possible combinations, the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste, from a classic Chicken Club Sandwich to Tesco Korean Style Chicken Dragon Rolls.' The news comes after a Sainsbury's car park in a coastal town unexpectedly become a 'top tourist spot'. In the pretty Cornish town of Bude, a Sainsbury's car park tunnel has risen to become the top-rated local attraction on Tripadvisor, with a rating of 4.7 stars. It's unclear exactly when it started, but tourists started leaving humorous over-the-top reviews of the Bude Tunnel, hailing it as "magnificent" and "magical", and drawing hilarious comparisons with Lapland or London.

Can HMRC see my Vinted sales? Tax expert reveals whether you're at risk of being fined
It also applies to anyone who also uses sites like Etsy, eBay, Depop or Amazon TAXING TIMES Can HMRC see my Vinted sales? Tax expert reveals whether you're at risk of being fined Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH bills continuing to rise and costs for essentials still skyrocketing, most of us will be feeling the strain on our budgets. So it's no wonder that thousands of Scots are looking for quick and easy ways to make some extra cash and boost their bank accounts. 2 Over 16million people across the UK use Vinted Credit: Alamy One of the most popular ways that savvy savers are doing that is by using sites like Vinted, eBay, Depop or Amazon. Users just log in to their accounts and can quickly sell pre-loved items like clothing, technology and much more. Etsy is another popular site where anyone with a side hustle can easily sell their goods and products. But Vinted is widely considered to be a fan-favourite after it was first launched in 2008. Since then, it has grown massively - and in the UK alone, it has an astronomical 16 million users. But with more and more people using the app for their side hustles, tax professionals are raising the alarm. HMRC now has visibility into online selling activity, and those who don't comply with the rules could land themselves in hot water. It can lead to in-depth investigations or even large fines, which could actually be larger than the earnings. Since January 1, digital platforms - including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted - must share seller information with HMRC. It comes as part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe. I've made £5.6k on Vinted and here are the 7 items you need to upload now to make cash quick - white maxi skirts will sell instantly for a start On Vinted in particular, reporting thresholds were tightened. The company now has to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year, regardless of the profit, or earn over £1,700. And now, finance experts have told how HMRC could detect and act on your side hustle. Lee Murphy is a Managing Director of The Accountancy Partnership, a leading accountancy firm that specialises in tax returns for Amazon and eBay. He said: "HMRC uses data provided by the platform, whether this is Etsy, Vinted or even eBay, to match against each individual's tax records. Ignoring these types of letters may lead to further full tax inquiries and criminal investigations "Those who've exceeded an annual trading allowance of £1,000 and also fail to declare this may receive reminder letters to ensure that they get their tax return done. "While you may think this is just a scare tactic, ignoring these types of letters may lead to further full tax inquiries and criminal investigations.' Murphy also revealed whether you're at risk of being caught out, and any next steps you need to take if you've got a side-hustle. He added: 'If you are selling unwanted personal items and not making repeat trades or dropshipping, then you're unlikely to face HMRC scrutiny. "If you do, however, earn over £1,000 from your side hustle each year, or you exceed 30 sales within one year, then you must let HMRC know about this to avoid getting any fines or being under any sort of criminal investigation. "If you're unsure how many items you've sold or how much money you've made so far, then it's best to go back and find your detailed sale records. "Also keep track of any expenses that've gone with the sales; stamps, postage materials and courier payments. "You could get some of this back when the time comes to doing your Self-Assessment tax form.' If you're unsure whether you need to register you can complete a simple assessment on the website. How do I file a tax return? TO file a self assessment tax retun, you'll need to register with HMRC first, which will then issue you with a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR). You must register for self assessment by October 5 if you have to file a tax return and you have not sent one before. You can do so by visiting If you've previously registered and already have a UTR, you don't need to go through this step again. Once you've got your UTR, you can sign in via the "Self Assessment tax return" section of HMRC's website by visiting You can then file your self assessment tax return online. The deadline for sending a return online is January 31 every year. If you need a paper copy of the main Self Assessment tax return, call HMRC on 03000 200 3610 and request an SA100 form. The deadline for sending a return using a paper form is October 31 every year. You need to pay the tax you owe by midnight on January 31 each year. HMRC accepts your payment on the date you make it, not the date it reaches its account. File late and HMRC will issue you with a fine. After the rules came in, Vinted said it would message users who needed to register, so if you haven't received a message, you don't need to register. Receiving a message from Vinted or making more than £1,000 from sales does not necessarily mean that you will owe tax. If the money a member makes on online marketplaces over a year is less than the amount they paid for the items they are selling, then there should be no tax to pay. But those "trading" for profit might need to pay tax. The taxman will use the information gathered to verify against its own records to make sure sellers and renters are correctly reporting their income on their tax returns. It is worth bearing in mind that HMRC will fine you £100 for failing to file your return by the deadline. Then, a £10 daily fine applies every day you don't submit your tax return.
