Will my shopping cost less?

A growing economy, as suggested by the 0.4% GDP increase, can sometimes ease price pressures over time. If businesses are more productive, they might not need to raise prices as much. However, other factors like global events and energy costs also play a big part in what you pay at the till, so it's not a direct guarantee of cheaper shopping immediately.
