Grocery price inflation dipped slightly in April – but consumers are still paying 17.3% more than this time last year, figures show.
Kantar warned that the fall from last month’s 17.5% only meant that prices were not increasing as quickly after 10 months of double-digit growth.
As consumers continued to find ways to manage their household budgets, own label sales were up 13.5% year on year, with the very cheapest value lines soaring by 46%.
