No alarms and no surprises: food prices surge yet again Wednesday, 6th July 2011
Shop inflation is now at its highest rate for more than two and a half years according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
The UK has been hit with even higher prices for food, rising by 5.7 percent in June making it the fastest increase in the overall index since 2008.
The report by the BRC cited surging world commodity prices along with a weak pound and high VAT for the shop inflation, and noted that all factors were now outside of retailers’ control.
But as soaring food prices become old news, British consumers are altering their spending patterns to absorb the price changes.
Now 39 percent of grocery spending is devoted to goods on promotion, as, according to the BRC, "savvy shoppers are taking advantage to minimise the impact on real-life bills”.
Mike Watkins, senior manager of retailer services for Nielsen, who compiled the survey with the BRC, said: "With shoppers indicating that they are becoming even more cautious about spending, this will impact discretionary spend further so all retailers will have to keep a focus on managing any cost price increases over the next six months."
