Easter food delivery slots for Tesco, M&S, Aldi, Asda and more supermarkets

With Easter Sunday just around the corner, many families across the country will be planning what they can do and eat when they are all together.

From egg hunts in the back garden to munching on some tasty snacks such as hot cross buns, the annual holiday has become known as a time for families to get together.

That's why it is important to get your food shop booked in for delivery as soon as possible, because there is nothing worse than being caught off guard and having to stand in the queue for hours on end.

This year's Easter Sunday falls a little later than usual - April 17 2022 - as it is the first Sunday that follows the first ecclesiastical full moon (known as the ‘Paschal’) after the spring equinox.

But, that six weeks could fly-by, and with shopping online still incredibly popular among shoppers these days, you don't want to miss out on a suitable delivery slot from your favourite supermarket.

And supermarkets have been preparing to make this Easter Sunday unforgettable, with a wide selection of chocolate eggs and everything you need to make the perfect Sunday roast lining the shelves.

So, with the help of the Liverpool Echo, we have compiled all the information you need to know for when Tesco, Aldi, M&S, Asda and more supermarkets will be opening up for this year's Easter bookings.

Tesco

Tesco's Easter delivery slots will be opening earlier for customers who are signed up to its Delivery Saver service. Slots for these customers will open up on March 15 at 6am.

For all other customers, bookings will be open from 6am on March 22. The final date for all bookings will be Saturday, April 16, depending on availability.

There's also plenty of Easter treats on offer at Tesco, from trusty staples like crème eggs and mini eggs, to delicious new products such as Cadbury Dairy Milk orange mini eggs and a Kit Kat Chunky biscoff egg.

Waitrose

Waitrose's home delivery slots follow the same principles as the supermarket's everyday slot pattern, and customers can book a slot up to 25 days in advance.

This means that slots to be delivered on Good Friday (April 15) are able to be booked from March 21, and Easter Saturday delivery times would be visible online from March 22.

As the supermarket will be closed on Easter Sunday, the last day for deliveries before Easter itself will be on Easter Saturday. Home deliveries will resume on Easter Monday.

Slots can book up quickly around busy periods, but if you have left things to the last minute then not to worry, as you can order right up until 7pm on the day before you want your order to be delivered, subject to availability.

Marks and Spencer

Marks and Spencer will be offering delivery for its Easter food gifts from March 29.

The gift range includes Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar gift bags, which include a range of chocolate and sweets, an Easter egg hunt kit and a themed bag.

Marks and Spencer is also offering luxurious Belgian milk chocolate eggs, including one decorated with a striking floral design.

The range of M&S Easter treats can all be delivered right up until Easter weekend - and beyond in some cases - subject to availability.

Aldi

Aldi has not yet announced when customers can book their Easter delivery slots, but how far in advance you need to order is likely to depend on what delivery option you choose to go for.

Aldi's standard delivery takes three to five working days to arrive, the large item standard open can take two to seven working days, whereas the next day delivery option can help with sourcing any last minute items.

Co-op

Co-op customers can continue to use the supermarket's on-demand grocery delivery service as usual during the Easter period, with no Easter-specific slots set to go live.

Shoppers can order online and book a slot up to five days in advance, with orders fulfilled within two hours.

Asda

Those looking to do their Easter shop at Asda will be able to secure a slot when they open on March 31.

Customers can choose their preferred date and time, but should not delay as the slots will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Shoppers will also be able to amend their delivery up until the time shown on their order confirmation email, which is usually the evening before delivery.

Iceland

Those looking to order from Iceland this Easter will have to wait a little longer to find out when they can secure one, as the supermarket has yet to announce when its Easter home delivery slots will be opening this year.

Morrisons

Morrisons has also yet to reveal when customers will be able to access Easter delivery slots, although in previous years, the supermarket has released these weeks in advance to the day itself and they are usually snapped up fast.

Those who are registered with Morrisons' Delivery Pass service can usually see the available slots up to 21 days in advance, whereas all other customers can view the available slots for the next seven days.

Lidl

Lidl does not currently offer a home delivery service, but there are plenty of seasonal delights to be found in store, from tasty chocolate treats to everything you need for your Easter roast dinner.

Sainsbury's

Sainsbury's has not yet revealed when its Easter delivery slots will be available.

However, the supermarket chain offers a Delivery Pass service for customers, which entitles them to see slots further in advance and get priority at busy times, so these shoppers may be the first ones in the know.
