UK Supermarkets Criticised For Confusing Consumers
Supermarkets in the UK have been criticised for making it difficult for shoppers to find the best deals.

Inflation in the UK has dropped to 7.9% in the year to June.
The figure is lower than many analysts expected, and was mainly driven by a drop in the price of fuel.
Inflation is now at its lowest level for more than a year, but remains well above the government target of 2%.
