But latest Google data has shown when you should be avoiding Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Aldi in Aycliffe and has also revealed when the quietest times are.

The Northern Echo:

Using location data from users, Google is able to track when a particular location is busy – while it also reveals what times are most popular on average.

Google often publishes this information when you search for a particular venue and allows you to see for yourself when the optimum times are.

But to help you decide on when is best to visit the supermarket, we have rounded up the data from a selection of Aycliffe’s main supermarkets to give you the full picture.

Data for every single supermarket in Aycliffe is not available, so your local may not feature on the list - data also does not show trading times between 11pm and 6am.
