2. Sainsbury's Sainsbury's has opened its delivery and collection slots for December 20-23. The store is urging customers to plan ahead and beat the rush by securing a slot that's right for them.
3. Asda have temporarily stopped issuing new delivery passes while demand is high due to the pandemic. Sainsburys have not yet confirmed a release date for delivery slots but following previous years patterns it is set to be mid-late November. Last year slots for December 20 opened on November 29 and then moved on day by day.

There’s no doubt that getting a shopping delivery slot has been harder than usual since the UK went into lockdown eight weeks ago.

During the first lockdown, Sainsbury's actually stopped new customers from registering accounts to take advantage of available delivery slots. As it stands, Sainsbury's is allowing new accounts to.

In an attempt to take some of the stress away, Martin Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert.com has compiled a list of top tips.

The list shows how far ahead each supermarket releases its slots and how you might get your hands on one, reports BirminghamLive.

The supermarket with the longest lead time appears to be Tesco with a massive 21 days, which assumes you know what you’ll want to eat three weeks in advance.

Waitrose and Morrisons release their slots just three days ahead.

So you might know what you want to eat but will you then have enough time to get your order in before all of the slots are quickly taken?

Here’s how the supermarket giants are operating according to Moneysavingexpert.

Three days ahead
