I roughly remember the unit price
I am not going to remember that last week it was 490g if they silently reduce it to 480g
this is why they do it... because it works
> Also, if you don’t commit to price comparison
I do price comparison at the point of purchase
but I don't remember the price/ml week to week

That's clear bait. What you're advocating for is a mental tax on the "less fortunate class" as you put it.
Make price transparency legally required and see how the game changes.

This, the concern trolling of corporate apologia is becoming absurd.
“Don’t patronize poor people, of course they are smart enough to remember the ever shifting prices and unit sizes of every product in the marketplace to calculate the real price changes in the goods they are buying.
Also, if you don’t commit to price comparison, how can "shrinkflation" be a problem? If you can buy whatever groceries you want anyway, just buy the ones that make you feel comfortable regarding their price policy...?
