"The official measure of inflation — the Consumer Price Index — fell to 3% in April, a 26-month low, as high street discounts eased the pressure on households."
OMG "fell to 3%" , "26-month low", "eased the pressure on households" you do understand 3% is a inflation figure i.e prices are still going up, no one is getting a >3% pay rise I know of (except Martin whose %rise keeps making my calculator show E) so we are all still suffering however our suffering is getting worse slower :mad:

Not for the things I buy. Food prices did infact go up on quite a few of the things I buy. Sorry, your story is wrong for me.0

"...... while 'money-off your whole shop' and petrol discount vouchers are the key battlegrounds for competing supermarkets."
What world do these people live in? If you have a large family and spending £40, £50, £60 in one go is normal then OK, money off is fine, likewise if you spend enough to get the petrol vouchers and actually buy petrol!
A single person on a very tight budget sees individual items go up week on week - how does Mr Robertson reckon the money off whole shop and petrol vouchers helps them?0 -
So now what excuse are the supermarkets going to use for putting prices up.
Not that they need one.0
