If you’re feeling the Monday misery today, Tesco might have something up its sleeve that will cheer you right up.

The supermarket has announced that it will be giving away free food to its customers today, to make the unbearable depression of Blue Monday that little bit easier.

Between 3.30pm-5.30pm today, the corporate giant is giving out fruit in the form of kiwis, apples, clementines and blueberries.

Customers should expect to see the free fruits on display at larger Tesco superstores in the capital.

Tesco’s corporate responsibility director Josh Hardie said: ‘We know today is the day people are most likely to be feeling the January blues, and we hope a free piece of fruit will help our customers feel a little bit happier as they shop with us.’

The third Monday in January has become known as the most depressing day of the year due to a number of factors that make us glum, including an empty bank account, cold weather, an increase in divorce rates and the number of days since Christmas ended – not to mention the fact it’s a Monday.

If free fruit doesn't grab you, why not check out these other handy ways to beat Blue Monday?
