Here’s a pro tip: CVS and Walgreens are your Easter Sunday saviors. They are usually open—sometimes even 24 hours—with a small but mighty grocery aisle. Need milk? Eggs? A random bag of candy corn that nobody bought for Halloween? They’ve got it. It’s not a full-blown supermarket, but it’s a lifeline.
Also, consider 7-Eleven or your local gas station convenience store. I’m not saying you can roast a turkey from a gas station, but you can absolutely pick up some hot dogs and a pack of buns. And a celebratory Slurpee. Easter is about hope, right? Hope that your Slurpee doesn’t freeze your brain.
The “Closed for Certain” Club
Let’s get real: you can’t buy groceries at Trader Joe’s on Easter. They’re closed. Same for Aldi—all doors locked, lights off, employees gone. Costco and Sam’s Club? Also closed. They don’t mess around with holidays. So if you were planning to buy a 48-pack of Easter eggs, you’re out of luck. Oops.
And Whole Foods? It depends. Most Whole Foods are open on Easter Sunday, but with reduced hours. Some locations even close early. Your best bet is to call ahead—or check their app while you’re still in your pajamas. Don’t drive all the way there just to find a sign that says “Happy Easter” on a locked door.
