Here’s the golden rule: most Morrisons stores close at 4pm. Yes, you read that right. Not 5pm, not ‘when the last panettone is sold’. It’s a hard 4pm stop. Why? Because even supermarket staff deserve to go home for a mince pie and a sherry.
But wait—I hear you cry. “What about the big stores? The 24-hour ones?” Ah, good spot. Most of those will close at 4pm too, with no overnight madness. So no, you can’t do a 3am turkey raid. Plan accordingly, unless you fancy a cold Christmas dinner from the petrol station.
Opening Time: Don’t Sleep In
They open early—often around 6am or 7am. This is your window of opportunity. Set an alarm. Channel your inner elf. You can be in and out before the chaos begins. Leaving it until 3:30pm? That’s a wild gamble, my friend. You’ll be racing against other desperate shoppers and a closing-time announcement over the loudspeaker.
Imagine the scene: you’re sprinting down the biscuit aisle, clutching a roll of wrapping paper, while a cheerful voice says, “The store will close in five minutes.” It’s not a good look. Avoid the drama. Go early.
