Forecasts suggest food inflation could hit 20% in Britain by next year

Consumers are shopping around for better prices.

British grocery inflation hit 9.9% in the four weeks to July 10, adding £454 (€532) to annual bills there, amid a worsening cost of living crisis, new industry data showed. 

Market researcher Kantar said the inflation rate was the second highest it has seen since it started tracking supermarket prices in this way in 2008.
