It comes as supermarkets across the country have started to reveal their opening hours ahead of the May Day Bank Holiday on Monday.
B&Q will be open over the bank holiday, as Brits often use the extra day off to do some much needed DIY.
Local stores may adjust their opening hours, so it would be wise to ask for more details in store.
All of John Lewis' stores will be open as normal on Monday.
No rain forecast as Met Eireann pinpoint exactly where warmest temps to hit over the bank holiday weekend
However, the opening times vary across the shops.
Anyone planning to visit their bank or building society over the bank holiday weekend should double-check opening times.
All banks should be closed on Monday, May 5 and will resume operating as usual the next day.
According to the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, any financial dealings must be suspended during bank holidays.
However, Saturday is not a bank holiday, which means certain banks might still be open.
Ikea normally opens on bank holiday but does operate under reduced hours.
To celebrate their new store opening and May bank holiday, the Swedish retailer is selling their iconic meatballs for just £1.
Royal Mail says that it delivers on most days of the year, including Saturdays but that there are no deliveries or collections on Bank Holidays.
That means services will be paused this coming Monday.

Our wine expert's pick of the best Portuguese red wines, from £8
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more I've tasted some excellent supermarket Portuguese offerings this summer – none of that overly extracted, rustic, hot-alcohol feel. One of my choices is just 11%: fresh and vibrant, showing the diversity of reds from this country. My selections also highlight the good wines still found at under £10. With this price category shrinking due to yet more duty and tax rises, it's a pleasure to share quality bottles that are wallet-friendly, too. Ramos Family Reserva Tinto 2023 (13.5%), £11, Morrisons . £11.00 Shop Sedoso Douro 2022 (11%), £8.95, Co-op. This one is lower in alcohol, silky in texture (with cranberry notes) and surprisingly versatile: it even works with salmon and other fish. Pop in the fridge for 20 minutes to enhance its freshness. £8.95 Shop

Check your attic for these items to sell at your local car boot and make £100s
MoneyMagpie Editor and financial expert Vicky Parry shares the best-selling items for car boot sales ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend A summer clear out before the "back to school" feeling in September (which we still feel as adults, even without kids) feels great and is a perfect way to raise some extra cash. The bank holiday is looming, and that means one thing: lots of mega car boot sales. Car boot sales are perfect for clearing out your clutter. But what sells well – and what should you sell elsewhere? Check your attic for these items right now to find some hidden goldmines that could raise a bunch of cash. Books, CDs, and DVDs As people turn back to physical media, books, CDs, and DVDs always do surprisingly well at car boot sales, even though the individual prices are usually around 50p to £1 per item. If you have a large collection you want to downsize, this is one of the best ways to raise some extra cash quickly rather than donating to charity, thinking you can't get any money for them. If you have any special editions make sure to research the online resale price first, taking into account what it would cost you to pack and send it if you sold online instead. This will help you get a fair price for limited editions. Kitchen gadgets When did you last use that breadmaker? Did you try a slow cooker once and now it's gathering dust? Kitchen gadgets that are in working order but take up valuable counter space can be easy to sell at car boot sales. Similarly, unusual mugs and dinnerware sets can catch a collector's eye. It's probably not the place to get rid of your Spode or Wedgewood, but vintage designs and mismatched tea sets can do very well. Children's toys If your child has outgrown or lost interest in a toy, it's almost guaranteed to sell at a car boot if it's in good condition. People love to spoil the kids in their life and it's even better when they can do so on a budget! Vintage toys can also do really well. If you still have some LEGO from your childhood, it's likely to be considered vintage. There are collectors for things like original computer consoles, original Polly Pockets, and Barbies. Make sure you do your research online first, as you might make a bigger profit selling to a specialist retailer or on eBay. Vintage clothes Vintage clothes and shoes can sell well at car boot sales if you make sure they are clean, in good condition, and displayed well. Rather than a big bundle on a table, hang each item out and put your vintage shoes out in pairs. As for what counts as vintage? Clothes from around the year 2000 and earlier are considered vintage. Original band t-shirts, classic Converse and Doc Martens, and vintage coats and jackets do very well. Memorabilia and trends Finally, check out current trends before you head to the car boot sale. You might find that, for example, your Ozzy Osbourne original merchandise could fetch a decent penny right now. Or, if you've been gifted Labubus that aren't your style, or have Oasis memorabilia, you could earn some extra cash. Check out what's popular online, look for social media trends, and see if you have something that used to be mundane and is now popular. Even things like vintage Pyrex dishes have a niche audience of collectors who love to go to car boot sales! When car boot sales aren't right for selling A car boot sale is perfect for getting rid of your bric-a-brac and some popular items. But if you have a collection of rare items, or even some vintage toys or vinyl LPs, you could get a better price elsewhere. It takes a bit more legwork than standing at a car boot sale on a Saturday, but you could net yourself a lot more cash for specialist items if you take the time to do some research. Collectors will often use websites like eBay, which means you can research how much items are likely to sell for and price them realistically for auction or Buy It Now. For particularly rare or niche items, check out forums, local marketplaces, and specialist retailers. They'll take a commission from the sale, or offer you a lower price so they can profit on the resale, but it is likely to still net you more than haggling at a car boot. Selling tips To make the most of your wares at a bank holiday car boot sale, try these tips: Arrive very early to get a good pitch Remember to take tables and clothes racks to display your items Price items up before you go and be prepared to barter Don't agree to set items aside in the first few hours – if somebody is serious about buying, they'll get it on the spot Take someone with you to ensure you can take a break and keep eyes on your items when unpacking Make sure you have a float of change on you at the start: this helps reduce the pressure to barter to a lower number if someone only has a twenty-pound note to offer! Be ready to let items go for a lower price towards the end of the day, but for some items, have a lower limit in mind and stand fast on it when bargaining. People can haggle hard, because they know they're about to get a bargain: be realistic, but don't back down if you have researched an item's value beforehand. If it doesn't sell at the car boot, you can always try eBay or other marketplaces.

'I tried Morrisons and Asda pizza - one is better than Domino's and Pizza Hut'
I'd gladly ditch Domino's or Pizza Hut for one of these tasty meals in a heartbeat As a kid, pizza night was sometimes a rollercoaster of emotions. When my mum announced we were having the savoury treat for tea, I always got excited - until I realised it wasn't the takeaway kind, and instead was a supermarket own-brand offering. But, as an adult, I can appreciate how these fresh and easy meals are just as good. And, if you don't mind the fact you've got to cook it yourself, it can actually be much cheaper than ordering a Pizza Hut or Domino's. Whenever it's time for a big family party—or just a simple night in—we often head to the pizza counter. But it's easy to fall into a routine and rarely branch out from what you are used to. So, I wanted to see if my local Asda was giving me the best value and experience - or was it worth heading to the next town over for Morrisons? These are the only two supermarkets in the UK that still have a 'make-your-own' pizza counter after Sainsbury's axed the service alongside its patisserie as part of a larger plan to simplify the business and reduce costs. I tried both Asda and Morrisons - with one a clear winner over the other (for me). I went to Asda at about 5pm on a reasonably quiet weekday - and it took about 15 minutes to queue up and have the pizza handed to me. In that time, I had plenty of chances to look over the offers they had with a £5.98 medium offer, including two pizzas and a selected drink. The large offer felt like a better value. It included two 14-inch pizzas, two selected sides (mozzarella sticks, garlic mushrooms, and spicy onion rings), and two dips (no drink) for £11.98. Having cooked and shared it amongst my family, nobody was overly thrilled with the basic cheese feast, which had an average sauce-to-cheese ratio. However, that might just be because it is our go-to—but the Morrisons experience won me over from the very beginning. I'd rarely shop at Morrisons because other shops were much closer and more convenient, but I might start making a special trip over for the pizza counter from now on. At first, I thought the counter was closed because there were no ready-made pizzas that shoppers could just grab and go. But, the McDonald's-style touch screen soon caught my eye, and I began making my order with this, and it also pointed out what offers I could get too. After picking my options, the machine gave a ticket and told me to come back in 10 minutes for my pizzas. Compared to Asda, this felt like a real game-changer and I can imagine it'd be a real time saver when you're also coming in to do a big shop as well. I also noticed that Morrisons had a few unique toppings to pick as well like pickled onions, butternut squash, ham hock tuna (what a combo!). It also appeared to cut down on waste as the staff weren't making so many pizzas that could ultimately never get chosen. I was worried at first that Morrisons looked less 'cheesy' than Asda's - but I was convinced otherwise once it had fully cooked. The cheese slices had melted in spots, offering a really tasty experience on top of a really rich tomato base. Even though the pizza itself (£5) was 2p more expensive than Asda, it certainly made up for it in terms of quality and overall experience that starts in the shop.
