HOW I SURVIVE WITH 50$ PER WEEK IN NORWAY

[@borist.]

Hello guys! So this is how much I spend usually for the week here in Norway. I'm always trying to safe as much as possible because this is what I can afford with the current state of my KZbin channel. I don't spice my food and I don't like to spend too much time in the kitchen. I just throw everything together and I'm happy with it. If you have a normal paycheck and pay a bit of attention,you can buy a lot of food (doesn't matter what diet you follow). See ya in the next video!

[@iamsuzy]

Please keep making more content like this. It's really interesting to see the differences between countries and get a glimpse into everyday life there. Norway looks so pretty and peaceful! Sadly the price of food there is about the same as most stores here in US.

[@kongvinter33]

nah, does 1 beer cost over 3 bucks?

As a fellow Croatian and metalhead living in Norway I have to say, that's some really good saving's you're getting done. Thumbs up👍

[@andreakrause5960]

This is so inspiring! I recently started buying stuff from an Asian store, especially Udon noodles and soy sauce. Saving money means running around and searching for alternatives, but it's worth it! You and the Norwegian gf 🖤💜🖤 are doing a great job!

[@jeffnduran]

Thank you for this video! I appreciate you opening a window into your life so that we can enjoy and live vicariously through you!

[@MissSchnickfitzel]

When I was in Norway eating meat and fish was cheaper than eating only vegetables. It was a lot cheaper even to eat fish, salmon is really cheap there. And raw milk is relatively cheap too. And eggs as well. I managed to cut my friends monthly expenses down by 30% even though he lived alone

[@MissSchnickfitzel]

But also, we got raw milk from a friend, plus we collected berries and went fishing. Its very worth it to go fishing in norway

[@mammastenhjerte]

A small tip; are you familiar with Kiwi's Fortsatt God basket? The price for what is in the basket is 9 NOK per kg no matter what it is. Kiwi has a basket with their produce where they put fruit and vegetables that are not perfect, often times all is still useable, or you remove a tiny bit and the rest is good to go. The trick is to get to know your local store and time it so that you are there around the time they fill up the basket. My local store does this around 9 - 9:30 every morning. Some days is it nothing other days it is a treasure trove of goodies. Today I found strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, bell pepper, salad, melons, bananas, basil, and peaches.

[@adamzimmerman6660]

I'm very impressed by your shopping skills.

It's really cool to see how life is in Norway compared to the United States. Love your channel and content bro.

[@theogonia1983]

As an American looking to move to Norway I’ve always heard that EVERYTHING is prohibitively expensive. Luckily the groceries at least seem the same if not cheaper in some respects than in the United States. I didn’t find the prices to be ridiculous at all

[@TheMcspreader]

That's because American citizens are being totally pegged by big food corporations without even the benefit of a reach around.

[@KarlNightblade]

Thx for the video. I'm going to visit Norway soon, it's useful to know price there :)

[@crystalmason5273]

Awesome video. I’d love to visit Norway and Sweden soon 🖤

[@szalwia666]

i'm currently returning from my visit in those two countries and i can really recommend!

[@V3ntilator]

When you drive to Sweden, it's like you are still in Norway. When you are in Sweden, Norwegians speaks Norwegian and Swedish understands 90% of what you say. The same goes the other way. Norwegians understands 90% Swedish vocally. On text, the languages is quite different...

[@V3ntilator]

The most popular foreign food in Norway is Mexican. In fact Friday is Mexican food day in Norway (Taco Friday). Indian and Chinese is very popular too. Fajita and Burrito from Mexico, Chop Suey from China and Tandoori from India is my favorite foreign food. Greetings from Norway.

[@borist.]

Yeah the Taco Friday! You just reminded me that 🤣. I was surprised the first time I've heard that haha but yes,delicious food indeed!

[@V3ntilator]

@@borist. Hehe. I forgot Turkish Kebab. Norwegians were all over Kebab for decades too. "Doner Kebab" is the real one, but sold at less places as it requires a bit more work to make.

[@MaleWokeFeminist666]

Here in Australia it's Taco Tuesdays at most of the pubs. Chinese and Indian food are very popular here.

[@V3ntilator]

@@MaleWokeFeminist666China and India combined have half the population on the planet, so they figured out food. ;)

[@MaleWokeFeminist666]

@V3ntilator Yes that is true but with Australia on the map which close to Asian countries, Asian food are extremely popular. Like The U.S is close to Latino countries and Europe close to African and Middle Eastern countries. Their food are popular as well.

50 per a week could be frustrating when it comes to grocery shopping

[@BAMH7861]

I didn't even know you're vegan like myself. I actually shop at our local asian market in my town college station in Texas and spend about $33 at most. That much food lasts me about two weeks depending on how much I cook. The most expensive thing they have there are the noodles, which can go up to $5-8 USD.

[@loragraves4808]

I really enjoyed the grocery shopping video. I am a budget shopper to. Susi and you are amazing.😊

[@chrisluck5176]

Potato chips must have gone up everywhere, in Australia they have gone up about 45% usually about $3 now over $4:50 close to $5 so I don't buy anymore. I have to try rice cakes with dates and PB now. I make a big pot of veggie stew once a fortnight and freeze some of it that saves heaps. Add rice or noodles when serving.

[@jacobmeans6800]

As a mushroom lover in the states I actually started to grow my own and with a little startup investment it is actually extremely cheap and easy since you can use mostly waste products and whatever grains are cheapest in your area. You will have more fresh delicious mushrooms than you know what to do with. If you have a little free space for a plastic tub give it a try sometime! There's great tutorials all over the place!

[@cigarsid7445]

Foraging is also a popular option here in Norway. You can spend a week or two in summer/autum and fill your freezer with all the mushroom and berries you can eat in a year.

[@aimeeaztec4601]

Woah - expensive. But you’re clearly very frugal and know where to find the bargains. Was very impressed by this - makes my spending look terrible. I must try to live by your example!

My local Kiwi and Ekstra put their marked down stuff out at 11. If I'm on time, I get lots of bargains and my freezer is full. Yes, it's possible to get by on 500nok a week in groceries, even in Sortland.

[@jeffnduran]

The frozen peanuts ar for stir fried food that requires nuts in the recipe! You might also see frozen cashews.

[@TheMcspreader]

I think they may be precooked.

[@patmagh]

I really recommend getting things that aren't packaged. They cost a lot less of the packaged stuff. And you get fresh produce. Get a bag of potatoes already packaged, 40 kr. Pick out the potatoes yourself, 10 kr/Kg.

[@vegetable_shredder9306]

50 a week is generous, and yeah if you want to save as much money as you can. Eat whole plant based foods - basic staple foods like beans, rice, vegetables, potatoes etc are always the cheapest foods out there

[@SarahAParis]

Good job on the budget shopping my friend! I get about $60 dollars a week for food, and unless you budget REALLY well, that'll get you VERY little. Needless to say I'm a careful shopper.👌

[@Duckterio]

[@BroughtonHood95]

Blows my mind to see people say that groceries are expensives in Europe. Here in Quebec, Canada the same stuff would cost you 150$ CAN (110$ USD)

[@OutdoorSpice]

Moved 2 months ago from Netherlands to North of Norway. Was also shocked by the price of products, but found out dat buying bulk and smart choices it can be way more cheap. Some products are cheaper in Sweden, so we go sometimes just over the border for a haul. Still.. In NL you almost lose 40% of your loan on tax and have also pretty expensive food with tax. In norway everyone makes double money on the same jobs. I love living in Norway.

As a Norwegian i don't think prices is bad. Grocery stores is competing every week and dumps prices on selected food every week. Spar and Meny in Norway frequently have up to 70% discount on their 1$ and 2$ sales that usually lasts for 2 weeks at a time. After price hike last year, there is of course some selected food that is too overpriced now. Norway in general have sales every week . Is anything ever full priced in Norway? lol.. That question were on TV news.

[@Ms666slayer]

Yeah in Mexico some peopel can buy stuff for a month with 50 USD depends on what you buy, but for a month around a 100 USD is like the average.

Nice vid! It trips me out that people I know, who work full time, literally spend their entire fortnightly paycheck on eating expensive take away food/drink daily. And getting ubers instead of public transport! Its 10 times cheaper and so much healthier to bargain hunt at the food markets. It takes going to a few places to get everything. Im going to start going weekly to a cheaper fresh food market. Its out of the way, but at least I wont be paying way too much supporting the commercial supermarkets/rip off artists. I dont eat much processed foods, cheaper and healthier to get everything fresh. Cookings a bitch but I try to cook a few things up all at once and then i can eat like a king for a few days. Lately Ive been living off pressure cooker soups and soups with roasted veggies ie. Over Roasted butternut pumpkin, roasted carrot, roasted red capsucim. Then puree with blender, add coconut cream, stock cubes, herbs.
