New York — As overall US inflation heated up last month, consumers got some relief at grocery stores. Grocery price increases in the United States slowed down in August, up just 0.2% for the month. That’s an improvement from July, when grocery prices were up 0.3%, according to the latest Consumer Price Index, released Wednesday. For the year, grocery prices are up a modest 3%. But just how much inflation relief you got at grocery stores last month depends on what was in your shopping cart.
