But the cost of living is still close to a 40-year high, squeezing millions of households and businesses.
Food prices are still rising significantly - up 16.5% over the last 12 months.
The price of fuel has fallen from record highs but this was offset by a rise in the cost of alcohol in restaurants, cafes and pubs.
October's overall inflation rate of 11.1% was the highest for 41 years and up from 10.1% in September.
The rate is worked out by the Office for National Statistics, which notes the prices of hundreds of everyday items.
The Bank of England has warned inflation could top 13% this year, and is expected to keep raising interest rates to try to control it.
