    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.

      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.

      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.

I am not sure if you have done videos such as introducing speciality products and Norweigan brands that locals are fond and proud of.

      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.

    I came here and realised how expensive my country is. (Hungary) Big butter and the big milk has the same price per kg here. Ham is also almost the same price here. But also eggs cost half or the third of Norwegian prices. Also clothes cost the same here. The sad thing is that the median wage here equals to about one thousand dollars a month.
    In Hungary you could from that amount of money (without discount):
    3,5 liter of benzin or diesel/
    5 liters of milk/
    500-600 grams of butter/
    1 kg of the cheapest cheese/
    1 tank top/
    A random museum ticket/
    A half of good spa ticket or one cheap spa ticket
    But that 50 kroner is almost the median hourly wage here. So Norway doesn't seem to be horribly expensive.

    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.

      It is partly because in Norway there is no free imports of agricultural products, to protect the Norwegian farmers, which make their produce in much wore condition than the one you find in a country like Denmark, which is more suitable for industrial agricultural production.The other reason is high taxation on products deemed "unhealthy" for the people. This is especially true for alcohol and tobacco, which are heavily taxed. If you compare other products like clothing, electronics etc, the prices between Norway and Denmark are pretty much the same.
