00:05wild. October saw overall retail prices fall 0.3% from September. Food prices plunged 0.4%,

00:12the biggest monthly drop since December 2020. What's driving this? Fierce competition,

00:17heavy discounting and yes, Halloween deals on chocolate and sweets. Even electronics and DIY

00:23saw price cuts as retailers capitalized on the housing market pickup. Now, this sounds great
