Grocery price inflation in UK eases to 11%

The rate of inflation on Britain’s supermarket shelves has steadily fallen since March, when it was above 17%.

Grocery price inflation fell for the seventh consecutive month in the UK while still stuck in double-digits as shoppers struggle with higher living costs.

Annual price growth dropped to 11% in the four weeks to October 1 versus 12.2% a month earlier, according to market research firm Kantar. It’s the lowest level in more than a year, though the figure will still have an impact on consumer spending.
