⏱⏱⏱
00:00 Welcome to Norway 🇳🇴
00:51 - Let’s go Grocery Shopping in Norway!
02:01 - Kiwi: Budget Norwegian Supermarket
08:21 - Alcohol in Norway: where to buy and how much it costs?
09:07 - Coop Mega: Premium Norwegian Supermarket
Why I’m doing this? I know you all have heard that Norway is a wealthy country and the salaries in Norway are quite high. But what about basic, every day things like grocery shopping here in Norway? How much will you spend on buying food in the local Norwegian supermarket?
Let me show you:
Norwegian supermarket Kiwi kiwi.no
Norwegian supermarket Coop coopnede.coop.no
There are several chains of supermarkets in Norway
⁃ Meny
⁃ Coop
⁃ Rema 100
⁃ Kiwi
There is also Spar and maybe some others but I was living here for 2 years and … well Spar is quite far from the town center and 4 of them were always enough to do my grocery shopping.
During 2 years of my life in Norway my basic grocery shopping needs were satisfied by Kiwi - there you can get all basic stuff you need.
However, when I fancy something more special, more interesting- I’m paying a visit to Local Norwegian Coop.
How typical grocery shopping in Norway looks like? What Norwegians eat? What Norwegians usually buy in the supermarket? How local Norwegian food looks like? What can you get in Norwegian supermarket for $100?
Is Norway expensive? Is Norway rich?
All of those questions and more in this video! 🤗

⁉️🙋🏼♀️ WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PRICES IN NORWEGIAN SUPERMARKETS? 😉
Thank you 🤗❤️
Still as high as always.😅😅
That's less than we typically spend on groceries here. Also, Anna, here in New York State, you are also not able to buy any alcohol stronger than beer in a supermarket setting.
Canada all the groceries are expensive. Just 2 chicken breast cost 10-15$. 12 eggs are 4.50-6$
@@Skyler_twilight5279 well.. Kiwi is really good 😉 very budget one compare to the rest of supermarket chains in Norway 😉
@@TheMKEWERBY wow 🤩🤩 really? That’s amazing! Gosh I can’t wait to visit New York! What a place for a blogger 😌
Hopefully this year ❤️
I know Norway gets a reputation for being expensive especially when eating out, so it’s good to know where to pick up some food that won’t break your budget.
Indeed! That’s so true Nick.
I remember myself coming to Norway for the first time wasting money on purchasing drinking water and dining in the cafes and restaurants 😁
It’s a nice option of course, but it’s always good to know how you can save your money traveling ☺️🤗
as a norwigian myself il have to say that fodd isnt so exc for us bacause we have a higer income
@@ulronn1945Hallo! I was just curious if you could send me links or explain what you mean in better terms. Not trying to argue or anything, I'm just genuinely curious because I'm an American and I've wanted to move to Norway for the past couple years. When I looked at the job I will getting a degree for and compared starting salaries and ending salaries, the American starting and ending are on average higher, at least for the occupation I'm pursuing which is a mechanical engineer. By higher I also mean that in a conversion sense, not necessarily in a sense to how much it costs to purchase things there on average compared to here. I would really enjoy some explanation though, or links, so that I can use that information to help me see if I'm dead set on my decision.
This was surprisingly reasonable! I live in California in the United States and everything costs similar! Some things more, some things less but not too extreme in either direction. I feel relieved seeing what the prices were, I was expecting worse than this
Great video Anna. I appreciate that you put the amount in dollars as you show the items and prices. Very helpful. Looking forward to see other videos you might have.
Hi Anna, amazing video :) It will be very interesting if you could make videos about apartment and house rent in Norway - prices, tips and tricks and where to find an apartment on a budget. Thank you so much ♡
This is one I would also be interested in, since we hope to move there next year.
I was taking notes during the whole video since I’ll moving there in a month or so! Thank you!
WOW WOW sooooo much great information, thanks so much Anna.👍👌🖐
I'm amazed how much of this is actually less than current US prices, at least in my region. The only things significantly more expensive are bread and eggs.
May I ask you which city/state/region you are talking about? I crossed around 38 US states and in my opinion, the groceries in Norway are way more expensive than in the US. Thanks!
This lady compare with UK prices which are much cheaper than US prices. Not sure why it's so expensive in US as it never used to be. On the other hand Norway was always on the top end of prices in Europe together with Switzerland. The reason is that they have higher tariffs on imported food to protect local domestic producers, something I support 100% as I think buying cheap from abroad is never a good idea, for multiple reasons.
@@truxton1000 Yeah but the higher tariffs burden consumers so there needs to be a balance at least
@@sharpasacueball Of course, but buying from abroad also burdens consumers as they don’t get the best product plus the local farmers suffer so yes, that balance is also important.
Thank you miss Anna Goldman for your video, it is very useful when trying to prepare a trip. Greetings from PT.
Great info! Thanks again
Thank you for the great and very "realistic" video 🙂.
Sometimes one can save a little money buying from multiple groceries. Rema 1000 and kiwi habe some price war and careful consumers can save something if they take advantage of that. Also those stores offer some membership to frequent customers e.g. Trumf of kiwi and we might get discounts in the long run.
Thank you again 😀
Aww thank you very much indeed ☺️🤗 I’m so happy you enjoyed this one too ☺️
Yes! Exactly 🙂 kiwi and rema 1000 are quite budget .. however, meny and coop have hot / ready meal counters - which is a super cool option when you are travelling around Norway and don’t want to spend a little fortune in the restaurant 😁
I am planning to come next month thanks for u gave me idea traveling with my kids
Nice video... as always Anna 😀. The local fishstore here is lacking fish these days so they experimebt with meat and made karbonader... they tasted delicious. Also bought fishcakes for toppings on the bread. Also delicious. Yes its important to know that there is a difference between tourist and a native when it comes to buying power. What a tourist find expensive is not nessesary that with local paycheck. Also as mentioned below... there are options to make the bill cheaper as cheap brands and even food that are about to expire can be put down with 50% or more. Also most brands of stores have bonuscards to make your trip abit cheaper spar have often these 10 kroners marked where some of their products cost 10 kr each.
I learn Norwegian using Duo, I just realised: learning it from youtube is much more effective.
Thank you so much for a great video! It helps!
Super effort thanks Anna
Great vlog as always. Ørret is Trout. Very nice and tasty fish.
Hi Anna
Another fun video. I am visiting Bergen and going to the supermarket - it is a must in every city for me. It feels pretty much like home (Copenhagen) when going to Rema 1000 or MENY. In DK MENY is more like Waitrose than COOP and MENY has got the BEST ready made meals and salad bar - it is unsurpassed for a supermarket. Prices feel pretty similar between Bergen and Copenhagen. But we have wine and liquor aisles in all supermarkets, no Vinmonopolet for us. I just read that living costs in Denmark are now higher than Norway - and Norwegians are happier than Danes. I wonder if it is time to move…
Thanks for fun and great videos😎
Great video 😉😉
enjoy shopping have a wonderful day norway happy vlogging
Video è stata molto bello brava 👌🍻
Aww grazie mille ☺️🤗
Those are reasonable prices. I live in New Zealand for the last 6 years and before Canada. Some things are similar and some things are surprisingly cheaper. Love it. I’m glad I’m used to NZ prices so I’ll be able to live like a king in Norway. Thank you for this video ❤
the smoked fish Ørret, is translated to Trout in english: I like it better then the Salmon. And you can fish it all over Norway in lakes and rivers
Trout! Right ☺️ thank you 🤗🤗
Me too! It’s so nice .. gosh I would to try fishing myself! It was my dream for 2 years already 😁
Norway is shite and I saw a bunch of Africans beating up this old man in Oslo. You need to fix your immigration and keep Norway European.
Hi. You have mentioned that Kiwi and Rema 1000 are the cheapest in your experience(which they are by objective standards also, they always do best on price comparisons) But I think it is also useful to know for non-Norwegians that grocery stores have cheap brands(first price, Xtra, etc) which can still be good quality products in Norway. The main reason they are much cheaper is that it is little or no Ad budget for these brands, which makes them significantly cheaper to produce. Obviously your not going to prefer every option from first price(kiwi) but there is no reason to not try them. Even If only 10% of your bought items are cheap brands, this extends your purchasing power a lot in the long run. I also think you should maybe use the words Mega and Extra, not to confuse coop mega and coop extra which as you know are two very different grocery stores in Norway. Especially when you live in a place that has both ;)
Wow!! Great one! Thank you very much John 🤗 that’s a very important piece of information indeed 🙂 definitely ‘first price’ from kiwi might help a lot ☺️
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel er du på Kiwi Lerberg i Hokksund??
Thanks again for the info
My great pleasure ☺️🤗🤗
I am from Estonia ,Tallinn(pensioner,560€ per 1 month) in Tallinn ,milk : 0.75-0.85-1.25€ per 1 liter
But - chicken fillet : 5.00-6.00€ per 1 kg minimum price😇
Thanks for video .
i think for 1 week :88.00€...not expensive😇
Groceries in Norway that I remember: Spar,Meny, Kiwi,Coop,Joker,Extra I don't remember more😅 Ypu need too try: Peppes pizza,Big Horn, Pizzabakeren, Lampeland Bakeri and more🥰
In Austria 🇦🇹 I could probably get all that at Spar for about 40-50€ or at Billa for about 50-60€. Thanks for the Video ;) I'm thinking about maybe going to Norway soon 🇦🇹❤️🇧🇻
This winter I´m really looking forward to my trip to Finland and Sweden this coming winter. Before I head down to the Netherlands, I´m going to take and Flixbus From Stockholm to Oslo and do and overnight visit then another whirlwind visit in Copenhagen, Denmark. Before I leave, I´ll do some grocery shopping for the bus ride out.
Thank you. Just planning my trip for a September and this helped greatly. Not much difference in price from Ontario Canada...except the beef was a bit over the top.
It is much more expensive now here in Norway.
But remember, this video has prices that are two years out of date. With the recent inflation worldwide, you can expect to pay more now
Hello Anna ! Nice episode, but you forgot one thing - the chocolate from Freia is delicious. Brunost is good and necessarily paired with jam. Greetings from Oslo!
🤩🤩🤩 thank you Robert!
Freia is the best 😌 no doubts! Actually one of the best chocolates I’ve ever tried 🙂
Very addictive though 😁
Ohh brunost is an absolute ‘MUST TRY’. You haven’t been to Norway if you didn’t try Legendary Brunost 😉🤗
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I agree with you. Being in Norway you have to try this awesome cheese 👍😋
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel And as chocolate is very addictive, sometimes I eat a whole large packet in one cup of coffee😋 And then I have to burn these calories by running🏃♂️, but it's worth it😊
Wow! I wish this was the case in Vancouver BC Canada. For the items and quality you got in Norway that would be a $200 CAD shopping trip for sure!
I’m from Norway. And this is what my dad is obsessed with 🙄🙄. He is obsessed with Rema 1000 is his favourite grocery store 😭😭
Good job anna 💐🇹🇳
Aww thank you so much Taieb ☺️🤗🤗
The prices are basically the same as here in Northern California.. Thanks for the video :)
I want to move to Norway from Croatia. And I expected to see like huge prices, and was so scared of this video. And then I realised that we have same prices, but monthly wage in norway is three times bigger than Croatian.
Actually in Norway the people supporting local farms and seafood goods. And the food depended from season. For example, she shows you the shrimps from Argentina, but you kann by perfectly and better seafood and fish from Norway.
Of course the price will be definitely different :)
I’m Norwegian but currently living temporarily in sweeden and when I saw the prices for the proteins I died a bit inside, it only costs either 50 kr to 70 kr for any type of protein here and it’s really expensive in Norway!
Overall the cost seems comparable to my area in USA. Although my almonds are much more expensive....
Hi Anna, nice Video! You are great! 😘 Is it also possible to get some pre-cooked Seafood ?
My price scale doesn't work since I grew up in San Francisco where everything is crazy expensive so I was actually surprised with how affordable everything was compared to here. I've always heard Norway was expensive but obviously that's relative to the rest of the world and not expensive cities. I tend to spend around $300 a week on groceries here but it could probably be cheaper if I sought out deals and such.
US prices for food has increased a lot the last 10-20 years, it used for be cheaper than most European countries but now it's much more expensive. Prices in for example Germany, France or UK is in some cases half of US prices.
If you ever see a food item in Norway and Wonder what it costs in dollars you can just divide the number with 9 or you can also divide it by 10 to make it easier and it Will be about the same
🤩🤩 brilliant! Actually genius ☺️
Thank you very much indeed 🤗
Yea, didn't realize what I did was basically the same as dividing by 10.. cuz I estimate by removing a digit and round up a bit by a few dollars (e.g. 425 kr, I assume is roughly $45)
I like how you speak in English, your voice is lovely ♥️
It'd be at least half the price in Poland (if you go for local cheese like you did in the video). However, Italian products are relatively cheap, even imported Galbani, Barilla etc. I'm guessing the distance is a factor. Another is competition: local farmers /food industry are not behind with quality products, swiftly expanding their repertoire with plant drinks and vegan / vegetarian options. The more I travel, the more I appreciate simple things here, like grocery shopping.
Im coming to norway with my mom i hope to see you 😊 but not this week i think we will br there in 1 month 😊
Going to Norway this weekend, coop is the way to go, its like Whole Foods in USA
BRUN OST (brown cheese),and skole broed(pastry with custard)
Those are Norwegian national treasures,indeed I am craving norwegian pastries
🤩🤩 sounds fantastic to me! Love brunost 😌
Matured Norvegia cheese is my favorite as well.
Thank you Anna for this video. Going to Norway in April, in Canada are prices are quite high as well. So, I was actually surprised that the prices were not that much higher. Just for some stuff. Is it more expensive the further North you go in Norway??
Not generally, I am not 100% sure but I think the chains like Kiwi, Rema1000 etc has nationwide shops and keep same prices regardless where in the country you are, Kiwi is now the cheapest, followed by Rema1000. Shops like Meny and independent shops are generally much more expensive. When I am in Norway I always used Rema1000, but will switch to Kiwi for my next visit, both have EXCELLENT quality.
Dear Anna, may I try an explaination (if not already given below): the more fat goes into the milk, the less is left for butter, cheese and the like. Milk fat costs more than water, hence low-fat milk comes cheaper...
nice video
Relatively the same as most Whole Foods in America. It's not as bad as I thought. I heard gasoline is quite expensive, though. The inflation is making prices of meat higher. I can easily spend 150-200 dollars per week on groceries.
Well.. whole foods is a different breed 😉 kiwi supermarket would be similar to Asda in the UK .. or maybe Walmart in the US 🙂
It’s like very very budget supermarket here 😉 nothing super fancy, only regular, basic stuff
I would expect Norway to be much more expensive but my food shop in the uk is a similar price!
First of, I love your Norwegian vids 🤗❤️
As a Norwegian, I don't know were to start. But here I go 😉
1. We or me at least all ways check the difference between per each and per Kg pricing. it's very different on the total price.
2. Pre-made sandwiches are ridiculous overpriced all over Norway, make your own before hiking or travel anywhere.
3. First Price are the lowest of the low when it becomes to quality, but not bad compared to maybe other countries. But often not real Norwegian ingredients from Norwegian animals or products.
4. Fresh Entrecôte is actually often cheaper in the fresh meat counter than the prepacked one, as well as much other meat products.
5. Salmon is "Laks" in Norwegian (but I guess you knew that, just didn't find at KIWI). And yes, very good fresh salmon is perfect with eggs and/or mayo for breakfast, lunch and even at some casual small parties.
6. Gluten-free groceries are insanely expensive in Norway, but those who are medical diagnosed with gluten-free intolerance actually get supported from the Norwegian government.
7. The full fat milk has less processing than the lighter milk so that's why it cost less.
(btw fun fact: the Norwegian pizza Grandiosa without paprika without any alteration on the pizza cost almost the double)
8. You have to try Brunost with strawberry jam on waffles. Yummy as can be 😉
9. Never buy KNEIPP if you're not on a really low budget, you can get yesterdays freshly baked bread in many stores and you can also get pre-baked bread in almost every store that you finish in your own stove within minutes. Both under 40,- nok - 4,17 usd 'ish
10. Coop Mega is one the most expensive store in Norway, for fancy stores I would recommend Meny, much, cheaper, fancy and usually fresh meat counter and fresh salads (as at Coop)
Sorry for the long comment post, but this is the main 10 reaction I have for for your great video 🤗❤️
Yes, meat is the cheapest in Meny :D
Very nice video . I wanted to know the prices of milk , and fish in norwegian grocery store
I'm still planning to travel over there this summer! I need to keep track of exchange rates now, so I don't get too shocked at supermarket prices and whatnot...
😁 at least you know the prices in the supermarkets now 😉 they won’t change too much, don’t worry 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel will Norway be fine this summer?
@@steffenwennerstrand8969 Norway is always fine 🙄 what exactly do you mean? 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I was just a bit worried when it comes to the food shortage. I hope I will continue going on vacation watching concerts and supporting Liverpool. How is England doing when it comes to prices? There won’t be any riots in Norway when it comes to prices? 😊
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel and Norway will be fine rest of the decade when it comes to prices and food. I apologize for commenting to munch. I was looking through videos about grocery stores and I was a bit concerned about the prices but than you saved me from being scared so a big shoutout to you! ☺️
Hi from Costa Rica. Hope you enjoy our pineapples 🤗
Anna, In your experience, have you found that recent world events have caused prices to rise in Norway, or have there been shortages of any specific products over there?
Hmm.. it doesn’t seem so .. but I’m not sure it will not affect in the future.. we will see ☺️
I’ll keep you posted 🤗
In my country we have lots of supermarkets...different brands... Some cheaper than others....I think in the good ones, than I could spend, at about 40% less than you payed.. Food here are cheaper, and at the restaurants as well! Unhappy we don't have brunost😄Brasil..
I've compared the price of Lindt Intense Orange. It's 2.69€ in Croatia, and 4,20€ in Norway. Not even 100% more expensive. A bargain!
As someone from Australia overall I think it's probably on par with prices here.
I'm watching this from the state of Oklahoma in America I've always heard Norway is way expensive in food prices. But 2 people for a week is pretty close to 300.00. We have store big chain store called Wal-Mart In the US. The only difference compared to Norway is Wal-Mart sales grocery car tires pharmacy oil changes in the vechical furniture TVs clothing toiletries. And smile super Wal-Mart's have gas stations the list goes on. But there really is no difference in price compared to food.
Also want to add it was passed in Oklahoma that all stores like Wal-Mart can sale wine and beer 7 days a week. But the hard liquor well you have to but that at the liquor stores which is open 7 days a week.
Thanks for video 🍒🍓🍎

Hey Anna is there a way to ship USA based stores to Norway ?
I head of KIWI before. I think, they are more popular in Norway than Sweden because I did not find many locations in Sweden but Willy's seems to be more popular in Sweden than Norway. Also, I heard of Joker as well in Norway.
Ohh in Sweden I bet it’s gona be some other chains 🤔 I can’t remember kiwi being this popular there 🙂
But in Norway is a popular one as you can also find it almost everywhere 😁 very handy!
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel No, I did not see KIWI in Sweden. Plenty of Willys though.
Kiwi is a Norwegian chain so not so strange that it's isn't to be found in Sweden.
one of the reasons why our food is a bit expensive is because the quality of the food is quite high and above the general quality in the EU.
Easy example, if you buy a Norwegian hot dog , the meat % would be around 80 -90 , same hotdog in.Sweden less than 50% meat ;)
Totally agree! I’ve never seen a rotten apple in a Norwegian supermarket ☺️ the quality is always spot on!
I filmed this one for the tourists to get them ready with the allocated budget when they are coming to visit your gorgeous country 🤗
I live in norway sinds 6 months now ,and i see its pretty expensive .especially when you have kids.... in my country you can buy a lot more for lets say 200 NOK ,here its milk,bread,butter ,chocolate and maybe some solo orange soda drink .anyways i love it here :)
You earn more than in Poland.
I've always felt that meat products, dairy products and bread was too expensive in Norway (we get it much cheaper). Basically everything else is also slightly overpriced except dry fruits. But the quality is probably the best nonetheless. Back in India we could get groceries and fancy items for a month for 5 people in just around 25-30$. Quite cheap isn't it!
Hello Pataudi 🤩🤗🤗
Ohh yes, the prices are definitely higher than in the rest of Western Europe. However, you are absolutely right, the quality is always spot on 😉
I’ve never seen a rotten apple in Norway 🙄 even when you get a bunch of them 😁
I still want to visit India one day 😉 the culture is absolutely fascinating 😌
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel definitely pay a visit! You'll be pleasantly surprised by seeing how modern India has become and plus how budget friendly it is.
A very useful video, thank you! Is it possible to buy ORGANIC vegetables and fruits in supermarkets in Norway? Or are there other specific shops for organic food?
Most stores have organic options, but they are usually even more expensive
seems on par with groceries in Colorado mountains, except the chicken and beef prices seem quite high.
Actually, we in Serbia have way more expensive food, for example:
Alpro Almond milk in Norway is 31 krone (3 USD or 2.76 €) and the price in Serbia is 29 Norwegian krone on sale which is similar, but our average salary is around 700 € (770 USD), and According to official data from the Norwegian statistical office, the average wage in Norway in 2023 is 53,150 krone per month, the equivalent of 5,000 U.S. dollars.
Some addition:
- 10 eggs here are 2 EUR or 2.2 USD
- 1 l regular cow milk 1.3 EUR or 1.43 USD
- chicken breast 480 g/16.9oz is 3.28 EUR or 3.62 EUR
- Philadelphia 200 g is 4.78 EUR or 5.27 here 😮
Now you knew what's expensive. 😢
OMG Anna. Those prices are only a tiny bit more than my cheapest supermarkets and less than my most expensive! Seems my cost of living in rural Australia is quite high.
Wow! That’s very interesting! I’ve never been to Australia yet but now I know what to expect in terms of grocery shopping ☺️ thank you very much indeed 🤗
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel no worries. Happy to share any info you might find interesting.
You must be using IGA in Rural in Australia she is using USD that will makes it even more expensive there’s noway it’s cheaper than to Australia Norway is expensive 😱
@@shkorinabowey7958 well I can quote you some supermarket prices if you like? You will see it is quite expensive in Australia to purchase food at retail prices.
Agree. Norwegian prices are on a par with Coles and Woolies Sydney right now. In fact, some items in the video are cheaper than here.
I spend around the same in the UK, but I probably eat twice as much as you :)
These prices aren’t a far cry from some of the grocery stores here in CT, USA.
These prices are comparable to northern ontario. I think the food price shock wouldnt bother me much. Already acclimatized to being gouged. 🙈😭
It's absolutely reasonable for fool fat milk to be more expensive than lower fat. From fool fat milk you kad take the fat and make butter, cheeses etc. Personally I always choose fool fat milk products.
Hi anna well norwegian are expensive when someone moves to norway like for example rema 1000 that's the norwegian grocery store but it's so expensive to move to norway but I choose where to move is buffalo new york but maybe will be later after living in buffalo then I should to norway
Well.. Norway is quite an expensive place for the tourists but believe me.. it’s so worth a visit 😉 at least once 🙂
But If you live in Norway and have a job here with a local salary - that’s actually not a problem. You get adjusted to those prices quite fast 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel yeah like you said if i live in norway it could be better for me as i'm puerto rican and puerto rico is a us territory we don't need a passport to move to the us because we're American citizen and you're its worth to visit norway because now months ago sas announced a non stop flight from Copenhagen to toronto that's a good chance to enter norway i will fly from toronto to Copenhagen then i will take a train or bus from Denmark to Norway then i finally arrive in oslo norway
Im from norway ❤🇳🇴
I lived in Florence in Italy! And they have the same prices! The problem is the Salary that is different
Hallo Anna ! Hallo from Italy
Here in USA I spend about $100 dollars on groceries for 5 days just for work.
Supply and Demand depending on The Milk Fat amount
It is honestly still cheaper than groceries in most of African countries. Where I live, milk costs easily $3, cheese at least $5 or more for a pack, sausage $25 for a kg.
Most items cost on par with those here in Australia.
This is not expensive at all! :D In my country its 20% less expensiev than Norway! In my Avrage salery is something around 1K euro, meanwhile in Norway its 3K Euro. So Norway is no expensive, its pretty cheap to compare it with saleries.
I would say London is about 1/2 price. However your salary might be 3-4 times more? Trying to say that it is relative. I like your videos.
I’ve got a British salary as I work for a British company 😉
At least there are not many clothes shopping options here 😁
When you write 32 USD for the entrecote, it's important to note that that is pr. kilo, not for the actual amount of entrecote you showed wich proabably cost soemthing like around 14 USD.. It was also importet from Germany. You should proabably look for what is actually from Norway.
Very high standard, I'm from Bulgaria and 1 kg chicken meat is 3,5 euro....
🤩🤩 that’s a great price!
I haven’t been to Bulgaria yet 😉 definitely on my travel list 🤗 as far as I know you’ve got some great snowboarding resorts 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Yes really beautiful snowboarding resorts Pamporovo and Bansko .
You can't compare prices like that. It depends on how much money people are making. In Norway the salary is high, so we use less money for food than most other countries do.
5:30 isn't full fat milk always a bit more expensive?
How common are the supermarkets there especially in smaller cities? do we have to go to a big city to find the popular chains?
That is something that concerns me because in my country, we have small supermarkets around every corner so like in one area there can be 3 or 4 different ones.. so it will be a weird feeling to not have that many
Very common 🙂 I would say almost everywhere.
There will be a number of supermarkets and different sizes of them ☺️ don’t worry about it
They're extremely common. Even a small village of a few hundred people will have at least one, depending a bit upon how close the nearest town is.
For example: I live in a small (by Norwegian standards) town of about 15 000 people in total, with surrounding areas. The city center takes literally 10 minutes to walk across, end to end, and you will find no less than 8 supermarkets here. Within a five minute drive from the city center.
@@christianf.5553 Okay thank you so much 🙏
@@ziadgaser2012 You're welcome. Glad I could help. :)
cleaning supplies and toiletries?
👍👍👍
Can you explain why eggs in Norway are mainly labelled as 'frokostegg' which I thought translated to 'breakfast eggs'?
😁 great question! I don’t know really ☺️ maybe you suppose to eat the for breakfast 😁 as an idea
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel In short: The "breakfast" eggs are a bit larger than "normal" eggs, to give a more filling breakfast. Other than that they're the same. :)
In a regular supermarket breakfast eggs, solegg (sun eggs) økologiske egg (ecological eggs) and a few more are equally common I think
Switzerland is even more expensive than Norway. Reason is of course that they have tariffs on imported foods to protect local domestic production. Which I agree upon 100%. Any country that want to import food "to keep prices at a minimum" are on a dangerous path. It's been talk in Norway about relaxing the import tarrifs, I think that's a terrible mistake...
Hmmm...@Whole Foods in US,that amount groceries $150.
hello, what town was this in? :D
Do people there suffer from food allergies? Are there any major complaints that you hear of?
And me i thought Norway is expensive 😅 I live in Finland and here a lot of items cost even more than in Norway, some just slightly more. The salary as a daycare teacher here is so low, i would get in Norway 60% more and the rent here is the same as in Norway.
Have been thinking move there

In Norway the salary is high, so we use less money from our salary for food than most other countries. Still we complain...
Well I have lived in Norway all my life, and well I don`t think it is that expensive here, until I was on a trip to the Philippines, then I got an idea of how expensive norway was compare to the rest of the world, why? Because I met many foreigners in the place I was witch was in Cebu City south of the country, and they said that Norway is actually the most expensive country to live in per citizen. Norway food compare to the Philippines = over 200% difference.
Norwegians make far more then filipinos
