as a norwegian, this is one of the most fascinating things to see (other people reacting to norwegian prices).
norge norge norge norge norge er best

@hireshi-azu I would say i found my visit to London better, than living here in Norway. The ordinary grocery stores and such had better prices for me, but then again the paychecks are most likely lower than what you get in Norway also. The look of the nature itself, is better in Norway though, but you got places that look good ALL over the world.
As a norwegian, I totally agree. Watching people taste norwegian chocolate, norwegian food and actually everything that is norwegian is fascinating.
@hireshi-azu Except the weather, the weather is allways terrible in Norway :D
Kiwi is the cheapest grocery store.
And yes. Urge is Surge. It was actually first made in Norway, then the US started making it. It's still around and somewhat popular in Norway.
Surge was originaly urge and launched in Norway but was sold as surge in America vs in Norway Sweden and Denmark where the original name was kept
8:59 face-palming so bad... XDD thanks for the laugh!
I'm Swedish but I assume Norway is pretty similar to Sweden in that we eat Tacos like crazy people. I would say we eat Mexican food almost every Friday in my household. Eating Tacos on Friday night is a very common way to start the weekend.
Its noit mexican food, what we eat is nothing like authentic mexican food
It's literally called "Taco Friday" in Norway xD That's how common it is!
Yes Norway and Sweden are similar when it comes to the "Taco" but after my captain at work who was married to a Mexican woman made me Mexican food. You will understand that it's not real Taco ^^ but either way it is good and a must every Friday 😁
@@thgie3258 I believe most people know it's far from the real deal, but it's still called tacos
dude im from Finland and it's the same here too we eat tacos every Friday i think its honestly a nordic thing
Kiwi is one of the "cheapest" grocery store chains in norway:))
If not the cheapest
Your right
Kiwi is the cheapest
Butter you’re* and REMA 1000 is cheaper than Kiwi
It depends on *what* you're buying.
For some products they're cheapest, for others they're middle of the road.
It also depends on *where* in Norway you are.
@9:05 (tip for the bread slicing machine) use the metal bar right above the inlet, stove the bread on the bar and put the bag over both the bar and the bread, tighten the open end of the bag and pull it of the bar, you should now have your sliced bread in correct order in the bag
*update: 9:30 yepp correct
When the bread comes out of the machine use one hand on each side of the bread, hold and lift it up to the metal thing right in front of where you opened the door. Place a plastic bag over it (the paper one tears often) and scoop it in 👍👍👍👍
I can't believe how expensive the pizzas are in Norway!
Litterally the same pizza, "Rustica" in Sweden costs 49 Sek (4,9 usd). In your kiwi store in norway it's 75 Nok (8,25 usd).
How can something produced in a factory be twice as expensive in a neighboring country? XD
Steelware XD that’s why Norwegians travel to Sweden to by food and alcohol 😉 It’s called “Harry-Shopping”
@@dungkimtran8285 yes but what makes me most mad is that say norwegian made cheese i sold for less than half of norwegian price in sweeden!
for 1 kg norvegia we pay 107 kroner,, while i saw it in a shop right across the border for less than 50 kroner :-(
@William Perrigo yes i worked some years ago in VIANDEN luxumburgh , but stayed also a while right across the border in a village in germany a few miles away it was extreamly cheap compared to norway.
First Price is not only a norwegian brand, we have it as well in Denmark, and is often much more cheap than the other brands.
AS a norwegian i Kinda raged when he tried to put the bread in the bag. LIKE ARE U BLIND!! nono i get IT buuuut we Also put a plastic bag on first;)😂😤
You gotta:
Step 1. Put it on the "bread bench"
Step 2. Take plasticbag on
Step 3. Put the plasticbag in the breadbag
Step 4. Finito
Me too... I couldn't rip enough hair of my head 🤣🤣
yeah it triggerd me as well
Sverre Eriksen step 5. Buy it😂
True
I'm planning my first ever visit to Norway. Oslo is a given, but I like to pack preplanned lunches and snacks for the train to Sweden. The Swede in me is craving some of that food in the video.
all this time i've heard how much groceries cost in norway. i live in finland and the prices are pretty much the same. little more or little less, depending on the product...
KIWI is actually one of the lowest priced grocery stores, on par with REMA. And FIRST PRICE is the low price items in the store, its made by the same company's as the branded ones, so they taste the same, just a whole sale deal the stores get. Sometimes they even taste better and are higher quality.
13:25 you are absolutely right, this is the one that was called Surge back in the days, and Norway is the only country that has it on the shelves. You can also have it sugar-free, they are orange black bottles but don't come in big bottles.
To get the bread back in the bag you have to put it on the metal shelf that sticks out - then you can slip the packaging over! Little discovery I made when we moved to France :)
Some clarification to the prices here in Norway. Sugar (candy, chocolate), chips and alcohol is heavily taxed. That is the reason these products are as pricey as they are. Norwegian government has always been taxing unhealthy foods high, to make it more attractive (and subsidice) healthier foods. Regarding the First Price brand, that is KIWIs cheap brand, where they can sell white labelled products ultra cheap because they usually are made with produce and labour outside of the country. Labour in Norway is highly prices because of our living standards, and thus are our groceries the same. Regarding alcohol, historically we have had a party either in position or opposition that has been able to keep the strict rules on tax and selling hours for alcohol. Although, we have a wine monopoly, where the alcohol taxes are amongst the cheapest in Europe, as we have flat taxes based on alcohol type, and not based off the price. That means an expensive Burgundy wine would be way cheaper in Norway than any other country.
Most people in norway eat tacos every friday
Bordmargarin - table-margarine (aka, the stuff you'd use at a breakfast-table)
Cooking your meals at home is a much more Norwegian thing to do than eating out anyway. You can easily spend over 1000kr on a dinner for two if you go out.. so we tend to just do it for special occasions.
Except for the alcohol, the worst thing is to realise that the prices here in Paris are not that far apart from Norway's!
I wonder what Norwegians typically get paid, because of groceries are so darn high. It would be a lot of fun to see a Norwegian go shopping at one of the stores in the United States.
I am Norwegian and have lived in the country for more than 35 years. Now I live in Sweden. Even though wages are lower in Sweden the prices for food and other things are remarkably more cheap in Sweden. Someone is sitting on the top of these food chains in Norway and earning big money.
As for Sweden it seems there is a real tough competition and there is not so much culture for raising prices and wages. Even though there of course are raises in wages
There is one thing one should avoid in Sweden though. Strawberries can go as high as 50 kr.
Oslo is probably the least amusing place to visit in Norway due to flat terrain, early sundown and high prices.
Unless you're there for architechture and museums, - go anywhere in the west coast for the nature.
First price is a cheap price not just for Kiwi. but Joker. Meny and some others too.. it's like all in the same chain of stores
I see this video is from August, 2019 when USD was about 9 NOK. It would have been interesting to have done it 5 years earlier when USD was closer to 6 NOK, or even 10 years ago when the exchange rate was around 5 NOK per USD. Prices would have appeared a lot more shocking to an American then.
We don't often cook the shrip. We peel it and eat it rawm with different things on the side. But you can also always put it in a sea food soup or something. Also fiskegratenm you put in the oven so its crispy on the top, and its filled with fish as fisk means fish. Its not supposed to have cheese....yeah and First Price is a brand everywhere in Norway which is just a cheap brand, which makes a little worse food and eggs doesnt get sorted so you can get real small eggs and stuff, all in all a little worse but not bad. But yeah, its just a little worse brand but its cheap.
And secret for the bread. Put it on the metal plate thing which is on the machine. Put a plastic bag over it, which is also by the machine. Tie the bag, and then put the plastic bag with the bread in the original bag (all on the metal plate thingy.) Sounds harder than it is.
Also just gotta say, the way you pronounce some of the name physically hurts me, and my soul. Its like taking a knife to the gut, its so bad...
surge and urge is the same thing but coca cola called it urge in europe and i think norway is the only country left that drinks it
Can you grow stuff around the house? Like kale, turnip greens, onions?
yes, but only one harvest. and you have to plant in right time of spring.
Some stuff it is just to cold for..
Btw we eat the shrimps cold. We don’t cook them.
hahaha no we cook them....
We don’t prepare the frozen shrimp. We let them defrost and eat them raw on a piece of loaf with some mayo
when you want to put the bread back in the bag you have to use the silver stand on top of the machine
Aass: Pronounced Ås, is a brewery in Drammen
Climate plan if I have a funny question for you king crab are an invasive species so next time you go grocery shopping look and see how much crab legs are I know here in the states are about 18 to $20 a pound the story goes somewhere along the line it Russia transplanted some king crab from the Alaskan Waters off to the waters off of Finland in Norway Finland and Iceland
when buying shrimp you dont traditionally cook it. You peel of the "skin", tear of the head and but it on bread ect
Put the bread on the metal thing on top, then put a bag over it. But now everyone removed their breadslicers. You should definitely, for the sake of the natives, buy and eat the reindeer. Germans (we don't like it when they complain) don't want our reindeer, and think it's rudolf... The natives have lived with reindeer for at least as long as the natives of Australia have been there.
I think the prices are comparable to other countries.
I'm surprised you thought the fish gratins were mac & cheese, we have similar products here in the UK as well as Germany, Netherlands and Austria, on the other hand I've never seen frozen boxed mac & cheese!
Wow...Josh hair, making me greener with envy....PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY
Outrageous prices
I just want to know how many people made an immediate u-turn out of there once they saw you filming in a semi confined space like that. It's a bit of an invasion of privacy in Scandinavia.
Just curious on how much money do you guys spend on groceries, let say per week?
First Price doesn’t count. It’s usually made by the «leftovers» by the other brands. It could work, but it’s not the best quality.
We have the frozen shrimp you scoop yourself in the US as well...not sure where they're from...maybe the Midwest lmao
Looks like food there is twice as expensive than in the United States, and alcohol three times as much
Where was these people at before that they never seen shrimp like that in the bag that you scoop and put in your own bag ? I’m in America and see it all the time
kiwi is the cheapest grocerie store in norway so probably better to go on spar or meny to see real prices
ALCOHOL IS SOLD IN US
EVERY DAY UNTIL 9 PM EXCEPT SUNDAY, STORE CLOSES A LITTLE EARLIER.
You can easy find taco stuff in Paris at least
Kiwi is actually the grocery store that’s the least expensive
Lol the food standard is a lot better in Norway as it’s not chemically based. Sorry but I’d Pay $20 for duck or reindeer than eat modified US beef. Just my personal preference!
These prices are no different from the small u.s. town in which I live. edit: is it possible to purchase basic food like rice, beans, and flour, for a decent price there? I've noticed several of these videos only show junk food and premade items. I mean videos of this type, not from this channel only.
Thank you!
it is the surge brand with out the s
What made you move to Norway?
Maybe it's because I live in a very alcohol controlling state but the prices are similar to where I live I think
Not sure why I watched this, I`m Norwegian... I go to stores
roxxphatcox samma her 🤣
hey are there too many pigeons in oslo?
What's Norwegian eat for breakfast?
@@icebro7584 I slice of bread with brown cheese or something like that :p
Bread and Cheese? It sounds like dessert for me. Wait, wait, Do norwegians think eating is such a boring thing?
Kiwi is one of the cheapest stores in Norway
Yeah they're great at price!
No
Yea, a sørlands chips is like 18krXD
Rema and Kiwi are kind of equal priced. They are the cheapest in Norway
Eller extra
Be aware that you legally cannot say "bread is bad for you" in Norway. 3/4 Norwegian meals are sliced bread with some kind of spread or topping.
😅
In Norway there are over 1 mill people that eat tacos every friday. And the total populations in Norway are about 5 milion.
Edit: thx for the likes
That's right but I eat it every Saturday
Du er god i engelsk
XD
Swedes does that too xD
*live, *do, folkens!
And Sweden
Ashley, not every bread is bad for you.
American white sandwich bread, definetly bad. A whole grain bread, very easily found in Europe, is super healthy, with a lot of fiber. 😍😍
Yeah!!!
@@pundewhee wow. How disrespectful you are. If you don't like them, or their channel, just don't come here to be so nasty in a comment.
Rye bread is the best
@@pundewhee Please go elsewhere with your ignorance. Plenty of other places on TH-cam for people like yourself.
American and English bread is
generally more than awful. It
virtually sticks to your ribs when
you eat it. Glad we have really
healthy wholesome bread here
in Switzerland.
I can see you've never been in Whole Foods or as it's known here in the US whole paycheck
Yep that's why I shop at the dollar store
When I visit I buy most of my groceries at Publix or Costco and only get things like lamb at Whole Foods.
I usually buy $600 per trip (every 2 weeks) at my cheapest store within 40 miles. I can only imagine what my cost would be over in Norway.
as someone who works in a bakery, i was cringing so hard when he tried to get the bread in the bag haha
Me too😆😁🤣😂
I love grocery store hauls! I don't know why I find them so interesting, but I do. Would love to see more.
The fact that they picked cooking butter is so unbelievably weird to me xD
Alex Da Lettuce
Why? They’re just not familiar with the food/culture/language.
When Grapes Pop its just weird becouse we are used to take the boxes and not the cooking butter
Here in America we only use one butter for everything. We do have spread butter, stick butter and butter in a squirt bottle. We'll use stick butter for cooking and spreading. And the same for spread butter.
Although we overall favor stick butter for spreading and cooking.
@@captin__7658 Butter in a squirt bottle? What? Now that's cool but I'm so confused. Does it solidify in the fridge? How do you squirt it out of a bottle then? Just what omg is this an American thing
Kimberley Chan - it’s not actually butter, it’s margarine, therefore it doesn’t solidify as strongly as real butter does. Even taking it directly out of the refrigerator I would compare the consistency of the squeeze butter to room temperature stick butter.
An even less popular option we have here in the United States is spray butter(margarine). It is actually in a liquid form and will stay in liquid form even if you put it into the refrigerator.
The spray butter and squeeze butter is made by a company called “parkway”. I’m sure with a quick google search you’ll be able to find it!
You literally went to the store that is the cheapest in Norway
Sho nuff like cheap
And bought from the cheapest brand in Norway (FirstPrice). I don't like FirstPrice brand... It tastes extremely cheap, as it is...
It's super expensive though! In the UK that "cheap pizza" would cost 70p, or 8.37 krone , the ristorante pizza £1.50 or 17.94 krone, the duck £3.40 or 40.67 krone. the basic food items like eggs and butter are slightly more expensive but the prices on those sodas must be wrong it's twice the price it is here and the ben and jerry's would cost £3 or 35.86 krone, 8 ice cream sandwiches £1.60, 19.13 krone and we have a sugar tax. I will never complain about our food prices again. 😄
@@masoncampbell971 Norway have sugar tax even on sugar free soda , its retarded and were screwed by greedy politicians
Candy is less expensive at Europris

The bread bag trick.
Just put the bread on the metal thing on the top.
And thread the bag around the metal piece, then push the bread into the bag there.
That's what it's there for.
9:27
Yep, bingo. ^^
The metal tray on top. ^^ It's meant for bag-threading.
@@kebman Yep, I had already mentioned that in *my* post that you replied to. ;-)
@@Luredreier But *_I_* mentioned it in *MY* post! Also! Ahem....... xD
Jepp👍🏻
kebman
I’m a little confused, why did you reply that?
The shrimp is pre-cooked, just thaw it and eat it :P
Well, you should put them in water with added salt (A LOT of salt) to get them to defrost faster and taste fresh! Mayonnaise is a must when eating shrimps! :D
@@kingcharming1 They defrost quick if you throw them on a plate when you get home, by the time you've eaten the smaller ones that thawed on the way home the rest is thawed. Don't need to add anything at all to these, just peal and eat like pistachios. And don't stop until its empty.
@N Avery In Norway you can even eat the eggs raw (unlike 95% of other nations because they found certain lethal bacteria at some point). And the shrimps are cooked, that's why they're red, they're white/transparent-ish before you boil them, which happens on the ship before they even reach land because you can buy them freshly cooked on the port.
They're precooked in salt water, no nead to add salt.
@N Avery we don't sell food that will make you sick in our groseriestores in Norway.!
The shrimps are already cooked and salted.. Let them defrost, pill them, an put them on top of white bread, with good Meierismør (butter) on, add on some fresh squeezed lemon over the shrimps, mayonnaise, and Dill.. It's so yummy 😋 drink cold white wine beside it, and also, if you are crazy, buy dill akevitt in the boozestore Vinmonopolet an enjoy a tiny snaps/shot beside your shrimps! ❤
It's always fun to see how foreigners look at our country, but it's a bit sad to see everything they in a way misunderstand here, and we, Norwegians isn't there to help them/you.. You needed a guide! But, so do I, if I was going to another country too, to kinda learn how life really is there. Love that you got to experience living in a normal home though. 👍👍👍 I hope you had a pleasant stay!
Where you say... "Old boats, down with the townhouse of Oslo, my thoughts went to my grandpa, that had his workingspot most of his life a few times a week, there.. He was actually a shrimpfisherman his whole life, and he use to sell his shrimps just there.
I came over this video now 😅😁
As a norwegian, I can explain a few stuff:
1. First Price is Kiwi's "cheap brand", some of the stuff is good, some is not 😂
2. The bread is good for you 😁 most of the bread you find in Norway are wholegrain and without sugar 😊 the "cake" on the side says how many % wholegrain there is in it!
3. Urge came at the same time (I think even before) Surge and it is the same Soda! But after what I heard from Coca-Cola Company, is that Norway is the only country in the world that has this soda at this point!! 😁
4. If you are looking for butter for your bread, go for the ones that are in boxes 😊 As long as it doesn't say "margarin", you are good!
Very late comment, but I hope you read it! 😁
Love your videos!
First Price is actually not Kiwi's brand. Its NorgesGruppen brand, and is made by Unil AS. In addition to Kiwi, you find First Price in all of NorgesGruppen stores. Like Spar, Meny and Joker.
Brelett eller bremykt er alltid en god vinner hos meg!
@@RunarBongo 🙄
Tip for buying bread in Norway: on the front of the packet most of them have a circle split into four and some (or all) of the pieces will be coloured black. The more pieces that are coloured, the better the bread is for you. I tend to go for at least a 3.
You shouldnt only look at that. 3 pieces could range from 51-75% grovhet(dont know the english word).
First price is just the cheapest brand. That's what u live on when you're a student hahaha. Its usually not that bad either
It has to go through the same quality control as the expensive brands
First price food is often really good lol
Synnøve Lange only the popcorn
ValeRune i dont like IT fordi THEY hermer.
@@andipandi6976 I like a lot of their stuff lmao its quite good
About the shrimp, I'm Swedish but we have those frozen ones here too(and non frozen already in a paper bag) and we don't cook them, just peel them and eat them as they are. Usually with aioli to dip in and garlic bread on the side. Or just a baguette. Mostly on Fridays or Saturdays lol
Greetings from Switzerland.
Most Americans eat a lot of
junk, buying food packaged
and wrapped in plastic. But
tourists usually have to scrimp
on money because our countries
are expensive. But we can be
grateful we live where we do.
All the best and enjoy your week.
Was just coming here to say that - they are already cooked 🦐 Thaw, eat on bread with butter and mayo 🤤🤤🤤 Fresh is better though, but 2-3 times the price 🤷♀️
@@TrineMalde I legit thought they were raw, and I was mildly horrified after reading Sanna's comment, since she didn't clarify they're already cooked 😂
I buy white bread for that, and a wad of butter. Then just (thaw) peel, put on bread, with mayo, and EATTTT!
@@TrineMalde Fresh is not always better, as fresh ones can be soggy and soft, while the shock-frozen ones are frozen immediately after being caught and boiled, on board the fishing vessel, leaving the shrimp more meaty and firm. Butter and mayo is good, if you want some extra taste, squeeze some lemon juice, add some fresh dill and a little bit of ground black pepper.
9:00 as a norwegian, this literally hurt my eyes.
Just take it easy, don't stress about it.
The instructions are right infront of them on the machine 😂
Urge was developed in Norway. The American version SURGE was sold to win the market over Pepsi’s Mountain Dew
I remember Urge. It was around a lot 20 years ago in Denmark, and then it dissapeared. Still you can buy at at the border shop to germany. As far as I remember I never liked Urged much. It tasted like... well Urge!
First price is a good option to save money, but the quality of what you get decreases significantly.
Just, never buy first price toilet paper, you'd rather just buy sandpaper and save a few bucks.
Depending big time on the product bought. First Price salty chips or mackerel in tomato sauce, taste exactly like the original Maarud and Stabburet ones, cuz it is......wait for it....made by Maarud and Stabburet!
@@plomben sure there are exceptions :)
Sometimes First price is actually the best product, especially where the improvements aren't easily distinguishable and there is a huge price difference :)
Assuming that's like Great Value products at Walmart.
Joakim Wiik Hey!
When you’ve got the runs, it doesn’t matter. It ALL feels like sandpaper. Lol 😂
I've lived here a year now so I'm pretty used to the prices now. But I'm going to be completely honest I find the pricing of fruit and vegetables to be really irresponsible. I doubt even well off people would be inclined to eat their 5-a-day here. I mean a cauliflower should not be more expensive than a pastry, come on!
The most fruits and veggies are imported, they must go a very long way.
Norway is not that suitable for farming, too much of mountain.
I think it's because they import all most everything, regarding fresh fruits and veg. Due to the climate
@@iuciubbb absolutt
@@steeviem1835 but the garden center near us which grew tons of fresh veggies was even more expensive 😂😂 I’m afraid I did the sensible thing and moved back to England where I can buy a banana (imported) for 10p (1kr) 👍
@@judegrindvoll8467 I'm British and would not like to be living in the UK. I've been 20 yrs in Spain. Tried moving back back 9 yrs ago and hated the whole system. My husband's Spanish. We experienced a huge animosity towards ANYONE none British. I felt like an Alien..Britains changed so much.. There's a real hate brewing towards foreigners, and Brexit exposed it. The country is in a mess, the virus control is a mess. I would say Norway's a safer and nicer place to live. I would rather live in Norway and eat expensive bananas, than in Britain.🤣
Sometimes I am annoyed how some tourists/americans assume things about europe, like the taco stuff, "it is not common to find taco seasoning so easily in europe" literally every mainstream grocery store in west europe as well als central europe and some eastern europe countries has this..
Agree. Also "Europe". Europe is not one country 🙄

When you by «smør» you shuold by the ones in the box

But I guess you mean they bought frying margarine instead of smör.
Rema and Kiwi are kind of equal priced. They are the cheapest in Norway
tacobolle pizzabolle so untrue lol
@@polarno3823 It totally depends on what you wanna buy. But lots of the non-organized grocery stores got better prices for even more value. Though, the market itself, big companies like Kiwi and Rema got the Lower end of the stick in an overall pricerange. If you know what you want, you can always find cheaper things wherever you go, if you want to walk between different stores.
sazuke8991 organised yes, the original comment was they are the cheapest in Norway, which isn’t true at all. Spar, Bunnpris, Joker, Matkroken generally have the lowest prices at the expense of having less stock and less choice.
@@polarno3823 My Joker in Ski, is the most expensive grocery store in Ski if you ask me, or just below the prices at Meny in Ski Storsenter. I only visit that Joker on when I'm in the city on sundays. The Bunnpris that was in Oslo Sentral station, and Close to Fredrikstad Kino, was also really expensive.
sazuke8991 hva er det du kjøper da?! 🤣
Norway is very expensive compared to Sweden, and Sweden is not cheap!
It's cheaper to do cocaine.
I’m from norway and I love sweden because it’s cheaper and close x)
It depends on *what* you're buying.
There's stuff that's cheaper in Norway then in Sweden.
Admittedly not a lot of things though...
And it also depends on how the economy is swinging (oil prices etc)
One example is stuff like toothpaste and dental hygiene products that at least a few years ago where cheaper in Norway then in Sweden (not sure if it still is)
Luredreier Well diapers are much cheaper and paint for the house facades are around 50%cheaper!
But the cheapest can of 33cl beer cost 29 Skr I Norway and most around 11 Skr in Sweden! Alcohol is very expensive in Norway even compared to Sweden rand the price in Sweden compared to Germany doubled! A bag in box of 3i red wine cost over 700 Skr and in Germany exactly the same wineit cost 110Skr, and in Sweden it cost 200 Skr ($1 usd= 9,79 Skr)!
@@Fred-ck1gh "Luredreier Well diapers are much cheaper and paint for the house facades are around 50%cheaper! "
I assume you mean cheaper then in Sweden?
I haven't checked out Swedish prices for a few years so I'm not up to date.
But I know for a fact that some things are cheaper here at least parts of the time.
As for alcohol...
Well, I'm a teatotaller...
So no alcohol for me...
I am from Germany and those prices sound expensive!
Regarding butter, on the back most of them have a "score board" on how suitable the butter is for baking, cooking or just eating on bread and such.
Norway is one of the wealthiest countries in the world with a high standard of living.
Of course basics are expensive.
Norway is wealthy because oil was found there. Basics are expensive because despite their government sitting on over a trillion dollars of oil money, they turn right around and tax their citizen's personal income tax rates at 55%. Corporate profits tax ranges from 28% to as high as 78%. Guess what that means? Companies have to raise prices on their goods to make a profit, which affects consumers. In short, Norway has a stingy, greedy government, but tries to sell itself as a "socialist utopia."
David Hennebach I could not agree more with that.
@@davidhennebach9114 EXACTLY!
@@davidhennebach9114 David Hennebach You're wrong, and you should close mouth and rethink before you express yourself on a subject you have no idea about. The government is not greedy, we are saving our money. Oil is not forever, and the government knows that.

@@Puzls seconded. Jeg bor i England. Familien min er Norsk og bor I Norge. Spending time in both, the standard of living is higher in Norway. The culture is nicer, its secluded, healthy living is a more prominent feature among people who live there. The government are sitting on their wealth and investing in infrastructure, green energy and support for people, prison reforms, social programs.
@Henne
I would get paid more for what I work if I lived in Norway, and the rent and utilities would work out cheaper, I understand you might not have the same perspective as I do because I have the luxury of experiencing both of these great countries, but the government is not greedy and the standard of living is not lower. Jeg elsker Norge og England.
sørland-cips are the best. you have to try them
Magdalena Sunnyi Degelmann LAYS, FROM US IS BEST.
As a Canadian from Vancouver watching this I'm hearing all the prices and feeling confused because they are similar to Vancouver prices lol especially the alcohol.
As a Canadian in Ottawa it's very similar pricing here too.
Exactly what I thought, even thought some of the prices were cheaper than vancouver 🤔
lejaders I live in Washington and travel to the Vancouver area daily for work. Your prices are shocking to me. Even using my credit card to get the best exchange rate your prices are still very expensive to what I am used to in Washington.
I do so like the Canadians, and hate it when Americans complain about Canada. The alcohol prices is to prevent alcoholism, something we struggled with severely in earlier times, I know some alcoholics, they just ruin themselves though.. That's not cool. They should offer tax-free to them.
I noticed the prices are similar are similar in Australia especially with the sandwiches and salads.
Greetings from Finland. A had a two week trip to Norway last month and did some comparison on prices. In general I could say that going to a grocery store is generally about 30% more expensive in Norway than Finland. But some products are the same price and some are way more expensive. Especially meat and beer are double priced in Norway. That's why so many Norwegians drive to Sweden and Finland for shopping. In the far northern Finland you can sometimes see that there are more cars with Norwegian than Finnish registration plates on the shop parking areas :)
Thats true, but the truth is that for the most part ... its not economical to drive and do shopping in finland from Norway unless you live close to the border, I live about 2 hours drive from Nourgam (northen finland) and we regular do drive there to do some shopping but for the most part it would have been cheaper to shop back home (wich we do anyway).
Tobacco however are very cheap in Finland compared to Norway but you are only allowed to take like not so many with you, also alcohol can be very much cheaper ... in Finland compared to Norway.
But many do not think about it, but because like here in Norway we do have Vinmonopolet (like your Alko) they buy so much volume that it often is cheaper than in many other countries in Europe ... and sometimes people DO come to norway to buy special kinds of wine for example.
Meat is cheaper in Finland but .. it is not that cheap so it will pay off to drive 2 hours to get it :-P but ofcourse while you already are there .... why not buy right ? also Sodas like Coke and Pepsi are cheaper because we got a high sugartax on soda's... so people order online even and its still cheaper.
A bread slicer in the shop ? Wow never seen that before but I’m Swedish , swedish food shops take a note . 😀
Finns ofta på typ Ica Maxi och större affärer :)
I've never seen one either.
We have those in some grocery stores in Canada that bake their own bread loaves
almost every store in Norway have bread slicer.
Seen them in Poland almost 20 years ago.
Surge (drink) Surge (sometimes styled as SURGE) is a citrus flavored soft drink first produced in the 1990s by The Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew. ... It was originally launched in Norway as Urge in 1996, and was so popular that it was later released in America as Surge. - Wikipedia
Here in the UK the first things in Supermarkets are fruit and veg, same as when we were in New Zealand as well - I think it is one of the best things supernarkets can do :)
Yeah. It is a trend
It varies in the US, but whatever happened to shopping lists and self discipline ?
Order on-line and have them deliver. Impulse buying accounts for much of America's weight problem. There's less of it without temptations at the store(shops)
Here, near Chicago, all of our stores have the flowers, fruits and vegetables in front where you come in. This is done due to studies that show scents like cinnamon and flowers help relax the customer and the produce and fruits give the illusion of 'fresh' while stimulating appetite. Feel free to look into marketing strategies. You will find their tricks very enlightening.
Yay finally some country where food costs more than in Finland! Greetings from Finland! :-)
nz is also pricey
Antti 1994 GREETINGS FROM USA!
Ive been there for skiing and eating out pp is lime 25 average and a cheap place is like 10euros
Urge is a Norwegian soda😂
Try hard boiled egg on your beet salad next time...Yummy, a great source of protein, inexpensive, and filling. Also, canned garbonzo beans are great for all the same reasons.
Oh yum that sounds so good.
Most of the stuff you called expensive was the most expensive brands. The duck things from Jacobs were expensive becuse jacobs is just a very luxury brand. At least i think so.
Grocery shopping in Norway isn't all that expensive. Premium cuts of beef and meat in general, however, tends to cost an arm and a leg. And a cow. Anything from pork is usually very cheap, though. I can buy several days worth of dinner for around $15. Of course breakfast, lunch, snacks and other meals aren't included in that. However they needn't be all that expensive in general. I can make due with $100 a week - including snacks and drinks. However the second you start purchasing premade.. that's when you'll start figuring out that Norway is VERY expensive. Basically food is cheap; having it made for you is not.
Accually we dont cook the shrimp we peel off the «Shell» and Eat it on loaf with mayonaise and lamon juice.

Norwegian strawberries arent one of the best...
THEY ARE THE BEST
YEZZ, THEY ARE👍😁😋👍
Yeeeees
as a person who has never tasted strawberries outside of Norway I am prepared to be disappointed next time I go out of the country
Ever tried Belgian strawberries... you might change your mind about the Norwegian...
@@peterpoppe4855 I have tried Belgian strawberries, they were also good. I did try Spanish strawberries once, virtually tasteless, but that could have been that particular farm, NOT nescessarily ALL Spanish strawberries. Supposedly, the main reason why Norwegian strawberries are so good, is the fluctuating temperatures, between night and day, here in Norway. Supposedly, this makes the sugar content of the berries to rise..
I had to convert from Krones to Euros and from pounds to grams, it was long and painful for my brain and I ended up acknowledging that I won't ever afford a travel to Norway
*sees fjords*
I'm in
