Food prices see first fall for two years as stores compete
By Nick EdserBusiness reporter
Fierce competition between supermarkets has led to The First monthly drop in food prices for More Than two years, an industry body has said.
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said prices in September were down 0. 1% from The previous month.
Prices of dairy goods, margarine, fish and Vegetables - which are often own-brand Lines - All saw falls, it said.
Grocery Inflation - The annual rate at which food prices are Rising - Remains High but is starting to ease.
The BRC said food prices rose by 9. 9% in The year to September, down from a rate of 11. 5% in August .
Overall shop price Inflation - which includes non-food items - Fell to 6. 2% last month, The lowest rate for a year.
The BRC said households had been helped by price cuts on school uniforms and other back-to-school items.
When The rate of Inflation falls, it does not mean prices are coming down, but that they are Rising less quickly.
The BRC's chief executive, Helen Dickinson , said price rises were expected to continue to slow over The rest of The year.
" However, there are still many risks to this trend - High interest rates, climbing oil prices, global shortages of sugar, as well as The supply chain disruption from The War in Ukraine, " she added.
Mike Watkins from NielsenIQ, which produces The Shop price index with The BRC, said that despite price cuts by supermarkets in recent weeks, " there continues to be pressure on budgets with over half of households still feeling that they are significantly impacted by The continued increases in cost of living".
The BRC's findings echo The recent official Inflation figures, which showed that slowing food prices were behind a surprise Fall In Inflation in August .
, helped by falling prices for milk, cheese and Vegetables .
The slowdown in Inflation led The Bank of England to keep UK interest rates unchanged at its meeting last month.
, bringing to an end a run of 14 consecutive rate rises by The Bank as it sought to keep Inflation Under Control .
Bank governor Andrew Bailey said Inflation was expected to continue to fall, and there were " increasing signs" that higher rates were starting to hurt The economy.
