Shop prices fall again in November

UK shop prices fell for a sixth consecutive month in November.

According to figures from the British Retail Consortium and Nielsen in their monthly shop price index, prices edged down 0.5% overall as non-food prices dropped by 1.6%

BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said: “The economic and political uncertainty has weakened demand for non-essential items. As a result, retailers have pushed for even deeper price cuts to encourage consumers to open their wallets.”

Meanwhile, food inflation eased to 1.4% from 1.6% in October.
