OCEANSIDE, CA — Tomorrow is Labor Day and as with all holidays, last-minute trips to the grocery stores are inevitable. Albertsons, Aldi and Trader Joe's are among the popular grocery store chains that have stocked up for the Monday holiday that celebrates workers.

Whether it's that supply of condiments, hot dogs, potato chips or other Labor Day classics we always seem to forget something. Luckily for last-minute shoppers, the majority of grocery stores in and near Oceanside will still be open to help out.

Many grocery stores are operating under face covering guidelines as the coronavirus pandemic continues amid a nationwide surge of delta variant cases, so make sure to double-check with your neighborhood location on its policy before deciding whether to take a mask with you to the store.
