Prices in shops rose at their fastest rate in over a decade in February, The British Retail Consortium (BRC) says.
Shop price inflation jumped from 1. 5% in January to 1. 8% in February, according to the BRC-NielsenIQ price index.

The inflation rate for fresh food, which measures how quickly costs for everyday items increase over time, rose to 3. 3% - up from 2. 9% in January, according to the industry group.

" Retailers are going to great lengths to mitigate against these price rises and support their customers, for example, many supermarkets have expanded their value ranges for food, " Ms Dickinson continued.
" Unfortunately, there are limits to the costs that retailers can absorb, " she added.
Mike Watkins , head of retailer and business insight at research firm NielsenIQ, said he expects shop prices to continue to rise over The Next few months.
" With falling disposable income for most households, retailers will need to keep encouraging customers to spend by offering choice and value and, for some, discounts as well as added benefits for loyal shoppers, " Mr Watkins added.
