I dont know why im watching this, im norwegian so I know how expensive it is
😂
Samme her hahahaahahaha
50kr = 4,7€ = 150czk = 5-6 good beers in czech pub, 5 large breads, or standard food in restaurant for one (without drink)... thats how its expensive :D
It's crazy maaaan
@@MrRichieHK show me the waaaay im from norway it's hell cause off the prices
„Femti Kroner“ I love how everyone repeated that part xD
that is kinda shocking low for us
Also the gasoline is like 1,6€/litre ??? I recently went to the Canary Islands and it was 0,75€/L
alfrredd that is a low price
@@carlingo1463 In the US it's even cheaper at 0,5€/L . In mainland Spain it is more expensive than the Canaries though, around 1,25€/L in Madrid.
Well, in sweden, the krown is worth less. I think the norge krown is about 15%more expensive then the swidish krown.
Tip for going on a trip to norway: Bring more than 50 kroner
Norway gang🇳🇴
You have to remember that prices in Norway are high, because everyone makes a decent living. People working in grocery stores, are paid a decent pay, and can live a good life, not wealthy, but able to afford a general good life style, better than in most other countries.
You are absolutely right. You can't judge just for the prices.
Not to mention travelling to countries like Spain and live like kings cuz it’s so cheap here lol
I keep hearing people around the western world comment on how expensive Norway is. It’s all relative to what you’re used to! I live and work in highly populated areas of California and the pricing all across the board for Norway, except alcohol, is very close to my cost of living. So, yes if you live in an area that does not have a world-class economy, you will find Norway very expensive. But if you’re coming from a good part of London, San Francisco, New York City or Singapore, Madrid or Abu Dhabi you will not find Norway’s expenses much different than those places on the average.
No, its mainly due to High taxes, not so much about high pay at all.
You earn let's say 4000 and use 3000 a month, what's the difference from a country where you earn 2500 but only use 1500 per month. Everything is relative.
I have fond memories of when, as a fighter controller in the Royal Air Force, I was in North Norway about 1972 on an exercise with the Norwegian air force and befriended by a Norwegian officer who did the same job. We went together to the quayside in Bodø to await the fishing fleet coming in with newly caught prawns. We were each able to buy sufficient prawns for the princely sum of 5 kroner. The prawns had been boiled in brine in old oil drums on the rear decks of the trawlers so that they were perfectly ready to eat on arrival back in the harbour. The experience of sitting on the quayside, shelling and eating the prawns with some mayonaise has remained a fond memory ever since. I also learned to order the prawns myself by saying "Jeg vil ha fem kroner reker". I'm not certain now of the spelling but hope I have got it more or less right. We were sometimes greedy and ordered 10 kroner's worth "ti kroner"! Now it sounds as though even femti kroner would hardly be enough. I enjoyed other lovely days off there at that time and would love now to be able to meet that officer again but sadly I can't even remember his name. I can say thank you though to him and all the other wonderfully hospitable Norwegian people I met then.
Thanks for sharing this :)
Today, you would get 5 prawns for 5 kroner! Maybe
Thanks for sharing your story

This is be the best channel to learn norwegian language and culture, i love all your videos!
norwegian - Norsk
I actually wanna live in Norway so it helps !
This one took a while to make. Next video: "Norwegians Describe Norwegians" (is that a weird title?)
Simple Norwegian how about “Norwegians describe themselves 🇳🇴”
Simple Norwegian no
No thats a pretty good title in my opinion its eye catching
I feel 'themselves' would be like if a person were talking about him or herself, rather than describing Norwegians in general. But Norwegians Describe Norwegians sounds kind of ridiculous 😂 oh well
"Norwegians Describe Norwegians" is actually a great title. It's eye catching and it would make people pause and reread it. It being a little ridiculous might be good for the algorithm too. Only thing is it doesn't like up with the name format of your Denmark/Danes and Sweden/Swedes videos.
Me hearing all the prices: ye that‘s reasonable
Me hearing the kebab price: hol‘ up!
17€ for a kebab?? 😳 . You can get a kebab for 3€ in Spain.
@albin vega Kebabs are from Turkey, not really close to Spain lol. Norway is actually a bit closer to Turkey than Spain is.

good idea
Thank you for this great video! I didn't know things are so much more expensive in Norway than here in the UK!
I live in Denmark and I am surprised how expensive basic things like vegetables and bread are in Norway but shocked how cheap petrol station food and chocolate were
Why people are fat because it’s cheaper to eat junk, when it should be the other way around😝 Tho there are stores that are notably cheaper than others. Also cheaper if you go to immigrant shops, especially Asian super markets...
@@kilipaki87oritahiti the problem in Norway (and basically every other Nordic country) is their climate. They can’t grow that many vegetables, because of the harsh conditions. That’s why I guess the vegetables and fruits are more expensive. Plus Norways obesity rate is under EU average, so that’s good I guess
50NOK for two chocolate bars is cheap?? It's like 20-30SEK in Sweden even at the gas station
Why is it that products that are locally produced are more expensive than the ones imported from other countries? (Chocolate is made with cocoa, a fruit that only grows in tropical weather).
"I am surprised how expensive basic things like vegetables and bread are " yeah... it sucks. Especially if you are poor or low income
Thank you Norway for putting a Scottish flag on the label for the whisky at 9:10 instead of a UK flag
freedom!!!
YESSSSSSSSS
you are very very welcome!! 💕💕☺️
they put the flag of the origin country, be proud brother
When are you lot allowed another referendum for Scottxit? 💙🤍💙🤍💙
im addicted to these interview videos
Other than chocolate, chips and alcohol the prices dont differ that much from what you would usually pay in a supermarket in the netherlands. Nice videos by the way, really want to visit Norway sometime in my life!
You can definitely get much much cheaper things at jumbo than in this video
yea if the price is cheaper at another shop you get it free at jumbo
The cost of most things in the Norwegian grocery store are pretty much the same as the cost here in the states (I’m in Florida) The cucumber, carrots and and eggplant were a bit over the average cost here but most were the same. The difference is we have TONS of brands to choose from and each one offers a different price. We have discount grocery chains here which offer store brand items and bulk which is less than at the average/upscale but not by much.
You just Got a new subscriber. Congratulations. :) Love from Denmark.🇩🇰❤️🇳🇴
I am going to study at University of Bergen in January. I knew that Norway is expensive but I now I feel more scared 😆 Thank you so much for this detailed video. It really helped me a lot. Please make more videos like this :)
some stores have this brand called First Price, there are cheaper alternatives to for example chocolate and such,, dont be too scared haha
You should also be prepared for the weather there xd
Bring 1.000.000e with you. Per year 😂
my mom works there
There are cheaper options (First Price etc) but they can be a hit or miss. They either taste super good, or like cardboard where not even a cheap can save it.
I think it's adorable that Norwegians pronounce "IPA" phonetically, like "EEPAH".
That's because we always pronounce "I" like "EE", not "AI". In English the "I" is pronounced both ways, because English isn't exactly, well, consistent.
@@DivineFalcon yes
Most languages pronounce I as EE
We in Serbian pronounce EVERYTHING the way it's written :)
@@Србомбоница86 finnish too
This is such an interesting video. I love the people, and I love all the stores you visited. I learned so much and truly felt like I was in Norway. Please keep making videos.
Wow groceries are expensive in Norway! 20 kroner for a cucumber for example. That’s €1,83. In the Netherlands, a cucumber costs 75 cents.
if Undertaker the wrestler comes to Norway i will treat him to a cucumber sandwich , he loves them (sarcasm)
Damn those prices are so expensive.. With my budget I won't survive a day in Norway..😂🤣
if you are there late at close time they give free buns to children or you can take buns from the trash after it is closed
@@carlingo1463 that's illegal for stores to give away things for free like that.
@@bsrules why? and where
@@carlingo1463 it's a policy within the chain I'm working for.

@@bsrules I know that is why they throw them for the most part, some just take alot of buns home and eat or give to children
So much fun watching the video. Greetings from S. Korea! Never been to Norway, but can't wait to go visit there someday after corona virus is totally gone.
This was such a useful video and the best one I found for understanding the pricing of many things. Thank you so much :)
I love your language. It sounds beautiful
The prices are actually the same as in Paris ( except for the wine, you can get a decent bottle for 3€).
Wow I super appreciate the undertekt for both speech and bokmål. Super helpful for at læra!
I'm gonna study in Bergen as an exchange student, and this video has been quite useful.

Check reduced price part of any shop. 50% is a steal.
i miss Norway so much! truly one of the most beautiful country I've ever been (and most expensive xD)!
This was Really Cool! Lots of effort put in and I appreciate it 👍
This was one of the best streets videos you have ever done! Tussan takk!
We need a new video 😅 since the prices has just became twice as much now.
Thank you so much for including that conversion chart. It helped to put this shopping into the proper perspective. A lot of the other videos talk about the price of grocery shopping in Norway and they talk about the NOK price, but with nothing to gauge it by. I appreciate your video.
Your channel is very helpful. Not to mention your humor! Keep it up Simple Norwegian! 😊
very informative!! loved it
For 7 Danish crowns you can buy 1 kilo carrots. And it costs 20 in Norway 😮
I worked in Rema 1000 in Denmark for 8 years. And the price differences between the two countries are gigantic.
As a Norwegian I can say that everything here is really EXPENSIVE but Norway is a rich country and having a job here pays you good but obviously you need an education first if you want a good paid job here, what kind of job interest depends on you. For people who struggle with money or dont have control with the economy or DON'T have a job, you can get help from the company named NAV, give them information about the situation you are in, if you example don't have a job. But requirement to access NAV on their webside requires BankID. Don't know how to explain what BankID is but it's really restrict to get one due to scams and stuff online and COVID-19.
Thank you for interviewing, editing and organizing all the grocery info. It is very interesting to know the various price ranges of groceries in Norway in general. I have watched quite a few of your videos and I really enjoyed all of them. I am not sure if you have done videos such as introducing speciality products and Norweigan brands that locals are fond and proud of. I would always associate Omega 3 supplements, fish products, different berries, fish and crude oil exploration technologies when I think of Norway. Are there any cookware, kitchenware and homeware brands that locals create and/or shop? Looking forward to those videos. Thank you very much. Your voice is soothing.
In my city we have falafel for 30 krona
This channel is unbelievably helpful to learners
Kul, informativ og original kanal! Må også nevne at du har noen syke English skills 🙌🏼 Hvordan har du lært deg å snakke så bra amerikansk? 🤗Uttalen, flyten, ordforrådet etc. I’m impressed👏🏼Keep up the good work! Hilsen fra Østlandet 🇳🇴
Enig der. Angående den amerikanske uttalen vil jeg tippe det er en god blanding av selvtillit og litt trening. Han er nok også veldig bevisst på hvordan han vil framstå, noe som hjelper. Tror jeg er inne på noe iallefall :p
@@niteynite Hehe, sant nok. Du er absolutt inne på noe der ja 😎
I saw an old friend of mine in this video. I like ure video concepts. I'm actually from Trondheim. Keep it going :)
It's important to note, that food is cheapest at grocery stores in Norway. Don't use gas stations, news stand kiosks or 7/11 type establishments. They are just silly expensive. Anything that is 24/7 type of establishment is just stupid to buy from in Norway.
aint that the truth......
I always hear that Norway is so expensive, but all these prices are about the same I see day to day (Portland Oregon US)
so there is hope. I can go travel in Norway.
Right? Not that Portland is very affordable...
Wow, so the USA have became much more expensive than when I was there in 2012
The amount of what you get is usually smaller. This is because the measurement systems are very different, and can be confusing. 1 liters is just 0.26 gallons, and that means that a gallon of milk in norway can be around 6.50$ USD. So even though the price is lower, the amount you're getting is also smaller than what you would get in the US.
Its 50% cheaper for you to visit Norway today compared to 6 years ago. Because of the exchange rate.
I’m assuming tax was already included in those prices, certainly not inexpensive but wasn’t that much more than what we pay in uk. From the way people talk about the Norwegian prices I was prepared to be shocked but Starbucks, McDonalds, clothing was about the same. Bread was weirdly expensive as was their chocolate & milk. Still, they get paid really well and are the 1 country that has invested their oil money well to the point of being absurdly rich when broken down per each of their roughly 5 million people.
I love Norway 🇳🇴♥ let me tell u that 50 nok can go a long way if you are willing to keep your eyes open for deals. Can you make a video on how Norwegians save money?
there is no saving money
Norwegians who live near Sweden do their big grocery shopping across the border.
Don't eat out, don't go out at night, don't buy useless shit, put all the money you can into saving and investing. Basically live like a broke student, apart from the partying.
Norway is so beautiful with all those mountains and fjords. The Democracy Index lists Norway as the most democratic nation in the world. The U.S. is 25th. I couldn't take the months of cold and darkness in the winter, though.
@@alwaysuseless The Democracy Index is faulty when it comes to measuring true democracy, it is as if they don't understand the meaning of the word, otherwise Switzerland would be number one far above the rest. Sure, Norway is more democratic than the US, but that doesn't take much.
This is one of the best videos ever so much jam packed knowledge 😎

the strange thing is my favorite Norwegian IPA is twice as expensive in Norway (26kr in Sweden vs 55 Nok ) but my favorite french wine is LESS expensive, its an exclusive wine so its not cheap but its still cheaper by 100kr.
Probably because tax is NOK 22.83 per litre on alcohol with smaller alcohol amounts versus only NOK 5.11 per volume percent and litre on wine and spirits.
Very interesting video! Unsurprisingly, the prices are quite similar in my country (Switzerland) -> 50 NOK/5 CHF isn't much 😅
Michigan (in the USA) also has a glass bottle/plastic bottle/aluminum can deposit fee for all alcoholic and soft drinks. You pay $0.10 per container and return them in the same type of machines shown on the video)
some people try to bring bottles from another state to MI cuz they get 5 cents there , that is not allowed ;)
they have those machines on Long Island too i believe
Here in Sweden, a bag of "Smash" chocolate is like 22 SEK/ 21 NOK. Half price compared to Norway! Half price with carrots as well. We don't go to Norway unless we got a really good reason for it.
well we have higher income in Norway, also the electronics and furniture are cheaper in Norway. After they closed the boarder Kiwi, Coop and Rema 1000 have reduced prices on groceries. Sweden really notice the loss of norwegian consumers!
Asså priserna är ju helt sjuka? 1 SEK = 1 NOK mer eller mindre, men allt är typ dubbelt så dyrt?

Actually it's better relation prize/earnings, than in countries with "seemingly" cheaper prizes. You just consider how much can you buy for one hour of work in norway and for sure you can afford more that person working an hour in "cheaper" country buying products at their local shops i think.( if it's not an alcochol or cig😅)

Great video, loved it! And I thought things here in Brazil were expensive Haha
Surprisingly some of those prices are similar to what we have in my city in Mexico.

@@theviewfinder1652 Oslo-most expensive. Then Kristiansand in the south, Bergen, Trondheim and Narvik. These are all the main city places in Norway. It's cheaper within the region upper Trondheim and varies from place to place. To be honest the really cheap parts would literally be a small village consisting of a few hundred people. Probably a quiet boring place to be for a long time honest. But more affordable. Norway is 100% a country were if you can afford it it's worth it. At least that is what I have noticed, living and born in Norway. But it may very well be different from person to person. Look around Northern Trondheim areas and you can literally get food for free as hunting is allowed in those areas. Overall if one shows commitment to living there then they get the full benefits of the Norwegian citizenship, making life a lot more affordable but this is not east to get yes!!!!👍🎃

He doesn't mention First Price or Xtra products that are cheaper in the grocery stores. You can get a 1.5l First Price cola for 14.90kr + pant and bacon chips for 14kr at Kiwi. First Price Cola also tastes better than normal Coke (1.5l) that costs about 34.90kr. All of the grocery stores do have these cheaper products. Also what he doesn't mention at all is that there is 30% to 50% off on food that is almost expired in the grocery stores. I bought 2x Fjordland meat meals that each cost 25kr. A full dinner for two for 50kr.
"First Price Cola also tastes better than normal Coke" , i doubt it....usually cheap cola taste not as good , i remember Haakon cola......it didnt set my world on fire anyway. I have to eat like 3-4 Fjordland Red Curry to get full , not much in those......

It's so expensive. I just wonder why? The quality of food is not any better. Often I find rotten vegetables and fruit or totally unripe. Nothing in the middle. I just don't understand why so much money for poor quality and narrow options.
Taxes are high, and all Norwegians paychecks are also very high, so everyone in norway can afford these prices.
The norwegian government raises the prices on things like candy, alcohol and sigaretts/snus to control the consumption of these kind of things.
And the narrow options is because we have strict rules on the ingredient list in the products we consume and use, so we don’t always import from other countries were these ingredients are legal. Also we try to consume products that have not travelled far, like from norwegian farms, which is maybe another reason why the options are a bit narrow, hope this helped you understand:)

We have the same prices here in California. Now, can anyone explain why fruits in sunny California cost as much as in Norway?
I know I'm really going out on a limb, but might it perchance have anything to do with the fact that California has been on a mission to destroy private enterprise through taxation and regulation for the past few decades? The same reason that many things you buy in the States have a warning label that specifically applies to California. In short, you people are nuts.
@@BudSchnelker when i buy at Vons in CA the prices seem much lower than Norway
Some people say that "we have a decent salary" and that is why the prices are high. I am sorry but I just began laughing. I just came back from a shopping trip where my mom and I had to hunt for the cheapest things at Meny, Extra, and Europris. Sure, the average Norwegian can live with the prices but for those below the average, it can be quite a pain sometimes.
