Biden to Call Out 'Shrinkflation' and Corporate Greed Over High Grocery Prices in State of the Union

Biden plans to criticize "shrinkflation" and corporate greed over high grocery prices in his State of the Union address. He sees it as a relatable way to acknowledge lingering financial pressures.

Biden has embraced the concept of "shrinkflation" - fewer chips in a bag for the same price. Polling shows the messaging resonates with people.

Biden likely to endorse legislative efforts to tackle price gouging and shrinkflation, though GOP support is unlikely. Could require companies to explain price hikes.

Biden frustrated by stubbornly high grocery prices and their impact on people's views of the economy. Wants to directly address the issue.

White House expected to tout blocking of Kroger-Albertsons merger as a populist victory in the speech. Seen as Biden challenging consolidation and corporate power.
