Grocery price inflation in the UK has slowed to its lowest level in more than a year, but it remains in double digits and most consumers still worry about rising supermarket bills.

Annual supermarket inflation dropped for the sixth month in a row, to 12.2% in the four weeks to 3 September, according to the latest data from the analysts Kantar.
