Grocery inflation has fallen slightly for a second consecutive month but prices remain 4.9% higher than a year ago, according to new figures.

The statistic is an easing from last month’s 5%, which was down from July’s 5.2%, but it continues to place significant pressure on household budgets, market research firm Worldpanel by Numerator, which was recently renamed from Kantar, said.
