The UK is facing the worst cost of living crisis in more than 40 years and inflation has reached an all-time high – so is anything actually dropping in price for shoppers?
Prices are going up by an average of 9.4% year-on-year, according to latest inflation figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
