HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? (Norway and Sweden full cost breakdown)

[@merv690]

Girls PLEASE do not justify to us how much you have spent , you have taken us on a wonderful trip with you, and to me worth every penny, thank you both

[@tamzinphillips7892]

I completely agree! I've had a vicarious holiday with you too! Split the cost between all of us hiding in your van, what a bargain!

[@campervibe]

😀😀

[@ragnarstorm3902]

Absolutely, you do not need to justify the cost. You had a great time, and you deserve it after the lockdowns. As a Norwegian in exile I have thoroughly enjoyed your take on life on Norway and Sweden.

[@01_chris]

Well said.. Its truly up to them don't justify your actions for a epic travel vlog. And it was amazing

[@SchussinBoots]

Absolutely agreed, well said. 😍 I’ve enjoyed every minute of this trip and wish there were more minutes of it, so I’m binge watching the old episodes to fill the gap until the next one 😂

[@starvictory7079]

Swede here: Sweden has always been cheap for camping as we have the Right to Roam (Allemansrätten). I grew up going on trips with my family all over Europe. We went to Spain many times. It's lovely to see Brits visiting. Swedes travel a lot to the UK. I find that British people usually have no clue about us. Sweden is beautiful...what a shocker! (Reactions from my British friends who have visited) In Sweden you get lots of Germans visiting and camping, because they know our country. Recently we get lots of Belgians and Dutch people. I hope to see you back here again. You're lovely! 🌹

[@campervibe]

You are so right people don’t realise how beautiful it is there and we will definitely be back 😀

[@Heather-JM]

I truly think that’s a good price! You had an amazing trip and for 3 months for £4.5k is great! Some people pay that for 2 weeks somewhere in the sun :)

[@campervibe]

Very true 😀

[@mrsmunchin]

That was my thought too.

[@tonysutton6559]

I'm budgetting £10k each for 3 weeks cruising Antarctica but that really is the trip of a lifetime and I've been saving for 10 years.

[@nellie8587]

Yeah that under £55 a day for everything !! Food, accomodation, fuel and adventures - bloody brilliant

[@georgjohansen2580]

Live in Norway. 2 weeks family holiday in like Spain etc for us(bought and payed in Norway) would easily cost 7-9k£. 4.5k£ for 3 months we would consider "dirt cheap"

🥳🥳 glad you found us as well

[@peacefulminimalist2028]

Glad you could debunk some myths about Norway and its prices. Some things are really expensive, but you lived like a Norwegian family , shopped for groceries and cooked the food yourselves. Even us Norwegians don't eat & drink out a lot, because that's where your money will fly. Also because we're only 5 million, we love to watch what people think about us and our country and are so elated when people even mention it. Been following your journey all the way and it was awesome - so glad you liked it here (yea okay and in Sweden too... Norway and Sweden have constant banter between them) and hope you'll be back ❤❤

[@campervibe]

😂 I love that they do though, we really did love it there and can’t wait to come back next year 😀

Amazing! As a Dane, I think you have done really well cost wise and at the same time you experienced a lot. Thank you so much for all the videos and the way you have told your story including hardship and laughs along the way. And the fact that you can be online and work along the way is pretty awesome too imo.🙏❤️

[@campervibe]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it

[@tallulahbelleoriginals7709]

That was very interesting, I also was under the impression it was considerably more expensive over there. Yeah it’s a lot of money but for a 3 month trip like that I think it was very reasonable. And you don’t have to justify spending it at all, yeah there’s a cost of living crisis that’s affecting us all but you both work so hard to be able to do this.

[@campervibe]

Thank you and yeah we do and saved plus this trip was awesome for us 😀

[@miriamkivlehan3498]

That's brilliant. I guess when you deduct what it would have cost you to stay home for 3 months the actual cost of the trip would be considerably less. In any case - you did great. I figure it would be cheaper to be on the road this winter than stuck at home in a hyper-inflated fuel crisis.

[@JitsIntoTheSunset]

Ooooh really appreciate all the detail & transparency of this video! We love chatting money to help others plan their trips, so thank you for doing the same for all of us! 💛 This is super useful because in particular Adam and I are 100% planning on doing a Scandinavia Roadtrip - so this was really really helpful to know. Thank you both, now off to watch your Scandi series! 🤓🌻 xx Tania

[@vanomadcyclist3474]

For direct comparison on the dog food, the unit price in Norway is 1.21 (6.05/5)and in the UK 1.25 (7.50/6) so yes cheaper in Norway but I would call it a push 😊

[@roberthunter6927]

In comparison to the UK, Scandinavia is not all that expensive. But the prices in the UK are horrendous. When we went the exchange rate was about AUS $2.40 for one pound, and a single pound almost bought nothing ! The "tube" prices were horrendous, especially the cash rate.

[@poppyk6182]

Wow! 😯 can you imagine The Roaming Radfords bill after their summer break.

[@citydesk4527]

They went through their summer itinerary and costs in a video and I think they estimated it would cost about £6000 for the whole summer trip for all five of them. Each to their own as to when it comes to costs, different people like to spend their money on different things but I appreciate the transparency of KZbinrs with costs so that viewers can understand what a similar trip could cost.

[@poppyk6182]

@@citydesk4527 Thanks for letting me know that. I’ve always been curious as it’s not as cheap as people think travelling with your van. Lots of hidden costs people don’t think about beforehand.

So true

[@cherylkempster9936]

Thanks Ladies really enjoyed .We found the same on our 2 week trip around Denmark slightly more expensive than the UK but not as bad as people had told us. We don’t count shopping in our budget because whether we are away or at home you still have to eat. Looking forward to watching your next adventure.

[@campervibe]

Yeah that’s true 😀

[@jimdixon3131]

Plus the savings on the gas and electric. Also the amount of fuel that you normally use when driving in the UK should off set some of the fuel used on your adventures. Either way I was surprised how cheap it was we paid £4k for a week in Mauritius. You paid about £45 a day for food, transport and accommodation. Can't beat that.

[@lorrainemadden869]

Thanks, both, for all of the detail in what you spent for your trip. I hope you know the value your vlogs add for all of your subscribers. I am living vicariously through your adventures. Thanks for ALL of your efforts, and the humor that goes with it! Bravo, cheers!

[@campervibe]

We are glad and great full we can share them with you guys 😀

[@twovansoneplan2020]

Thanks for another great video. We've been in Norway for 5 weeks now and spent just €50 on food (First Price items rock), stocked up in Germany beforehand. Also found that marinas tend to have super cheap laundry and showers (€1/€2.50) which has been so handy. Agree with the diesel prices, they flucuate so much, the cheapest we found was €1.99 which is great for Norway. I travelled here during summer of 2020 and it was so cheap, but that will never happen again, still Norway is very affordable if planned right - I agree 👍

[@campervibe]

It’s great right 😀😀

[@ujmm]

And if they don't have first-price items at your closest grocery stores, there is also PRIMA(Rema 1000) and XTRA(EXTRA) The main reason they are cheaper is that there is little or no ad budget for these items, making them much cheaper to produce compared to the rest. They come from the same factory as the more expensive brands.

[@peterosullivan9942]

My wife and I were in Helsinki a few years back and we had heard the stories about the high costs. We stayed just out of the town centre, maybe 2 miles, and the costs there were actually comparable to where we live in the North East of England for food and drink. The city centre was mega expensive but then again so is London for e.g and you are ony there for a few days after all. I think a lot of people stay round the tourist areas, which is understandable as that's what we go to see, but if you want to save a few quid in most cities you don't need to travel too far out to see a huge difference and we find those places are a more authentic experience as it tends to be locals not tourists. I notice you did not mention alcohol costs, maybe because you don't drink? but that is a standard cost comparator for a lot of people. We paid £9 for a beer in Helsinki next to the marina, but we also got one for £3 in a happy hour near our apartment and it was about £4 there at normal cost. That was back in 2018.

[@campervibe]

Yeah cities are always more expensive right, no we are not massive drinkers well lou doesn’t drink and I rarely do. I did notice that a pint of beer in Bergen was around 8-9 quid and again in London you can pay not too far from that but yeah I have heard the alcohol is where the cost is a lot different, I did buy a few beers but I didn’t notice too much of a price difference but I expect if you brought it all the time then you would 🤔

[@Newalks.]

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

3:30 It's quite uncommon for public landrymats cause in Sweden, you normally have your own if you own a house and apartment complexes have laundry rooms where tenants can wash their clothes (those are normally high quality due to how often they are used). There's very little reason to ever visit a laundrymat, hence why they don't really exist in Sweden. Edit: almost forgot, you might get the infamous "angry note" if you forget to take out the lint in the tumble dryer, for some reason it's like a cardinal sin here in Sweden. Edit2: 9:50 if you get a bit lucky, you can find really good deals at supermarkets. Regarding the 10 coke box, ive seen deals on them in supermarkets for as little as 30SEK excl deposits or 2,38 pounds. Supermarkets tend to be cheapest, second are well known grocery stores and last are those small local grocery stores in smaller towns and villages. Thinking of one in a place my brother used to live in, it was the only grocery store in that town and the prices where quite expensive. As a final last option, you have gas stations, they are however the most expensive choice and should only be used in emergencies. They can easily be 1½ to twice as expensive as supermarkets, they sort of have to be cause they can't really buy in nearly as much stock as supermarkets can.

[@lauralarson3490]

Top scores for this Cost Informative Vlog! I expected the Scandinavian cost not to be much more than UK. As Lou & Em confirmed, they planned for this trip for years (trip account savings) and if you are conscious savy, your can stretch the NOK & SEK really far. You may spend much more, on one thing and less on another. My son said Sundays & Mondays are best Petro fill up days he found while traveling through Norway. There are Apps that can target best stops,, in advance along your route as well. And Em, "you can't live life on one Chocolate bar alone"!! Thanks for the vlog!👍💛🌻💛🍄💖

[@karenfranck9762]

I'm extremely surprised at the costs!! I've always heard that Norway and Japan are the 2 most expensive countries to travel to and that fact alone has always put me off. I followed your trip around Scandinavia with keen interest as it's always been a dream of mine to go there (my great grandparents were originally from Denmark), but travelling from Cape Town, South Africa is a bit more of a mission than travelling via the UK, so thanks for taking us all along and allowing us to enjoy it with you!! xx

[@Fiskeflett1]

I'm norwegian, I recommend that, if you ever decide to visit norway. Resturants are very expensive. Take out can be expensive, but ask around and people will tell you where you can find affordable take out. There are different grocery stores that are much more expensive then others here, so when you go out shopping, ask locals about best priced stores around. Norwegians we like to give advice and help out if we can. So don't be scared of asking around. And go to places that are not these typical tourist places, prices will follow that, the more touristy it is, the more expensive it will be. I've traveled a bit around and there's tiny gems hidden almost everywhere, so don't be afraid of driving around and explore, norway is a very safe place do this. And maybe search around on internet, get to know a few norwegians that you can visit, while you are here.

[@campervibe]

Yeah I know right so was we, oh yeah little more difficult from there

[@Xsh755]

Same as 🇳🇴 goes for costa here in 🇩🇰, in fact I just read that our cost of living has surpassed that of 🇳🇴😀 But if you pick your stores for shopping watch out for fuel prices etc. you can bring your costs down a fair bit here too😀

[@goerillsomby]

There's over 300 comments here, so I haven't read them all, but I assume you're aware that you get a bit of money back, if you return cans and bottles in the shops in Norway? It's called "pant". This is on soda cans/bottles, beer cans/bottles and some ofter bottles. The pant is written on the side of each can/bottle. You get about 2-3 NOK back pr can/bottle. Not a lot, but it adds up. :)

Stuck in the housegoing a bit stir crazy after getting that stupid Covid, the good thing is that as we are planning a 3 month trip to Norway next year, I have been able to binge watch your brilliant Norway trip it looks like you had a fantastic time. After watching your journey we may have to rethink our trip as our plan was to get to the Northern tip but after watching your trip we might not get there without missing too much stuff, although we do not have any pets with us and we will not be working on route so that will probably save us a lot of time. I was surprised at the cost as if you think about it, the cost of staying at home is not much less, you still have buy food, fuel and probably some snacks. Right time to catch up with your Irish adventure. Not wanting to blow smoke somewhere I find your vlogs the most fun and entertaining van vlogs that I watch, keep them coming.

Thank you for going over the costs. The true costs. A few years ago you would always hear from van lifers or full-time RVers and they would say things like "How could you not afford this life." It can be just as expensive, sometimes even more expensive, than living stationary. It's still a great way to live. Just have to be honest.

[@hrhpaul]

Great analysis and we all love a good spreadsheet. It's good to know these things. Out of interest, supermarket fuel in France from E'lecrec is set nationally. Auchan's price is set by department (region). Super U, Carrefour and Intermarche set their prices against other fuel stations with close proximity. The exception to this is the Paris Metropolitan area, where they are a rule unto themselves...

When you said the total cost I initially thought it was expensive but when you break it down into average per week it’s really not that bad compared to a weeks holiday in the uk or Europe.

Geez Louise! I'm gobsmacked. It's MUCH more expensive here in the states than either Scandinavia or the UK! I paused the video to look at Emily's spreadsheet of specifics....we're paying a lot more for groceries, fuel and....snacks (I get the importance of branding the Snack Bandit). I really am shocked that you could spend three months traveling for the amount you spent. I wish I could print off Emily's comparison spreadsheet to show it to my partner...well, I'd show it to everyone I know. Why are people saying it's horrendously expensive?

Yay! 🥂

[@devenair681]

Very informative and the cost surprisingly less than one would have imagined. I really enjoy your travel videos especially as you take your pets with you. 🙂🙂👍👍

[@outdoorjunky1]

Not bad, not bad at all, Thanks for taking the time for breaking it down so well 👍 Loving the channel Hoping to do the same trip in the next couple of years when we stop working 🎉

[@davidglassford2194]

A very good detailed breakdown of the trip ladies 👍🏻 & doesn’t sound a huge amount for 3 months esp if you both (well 4 of youse) had fab relaxing break as that’s what matters more in life x

[@michaelfewkes5271]

Brilliant as always. The amount of hard work you two put into this is unbelievable. Surpasses many travel programmes on TV that probably have big production teams. I was amazed at the low fuel cost. Would love to know tank size and distance achieved per fill. Great stuff 👍🏼😁

[@campervibe]

Thank you 😊

[@shishly]

I really missed the videos! I tried to be frugal this year, but still my 2 week vacation abroad this year came to about 2.1 k so I am very impressed with your 3 month trip for 4.5 k.I am from Norway and never been higher up than Bergen ,always thought that a round trip in Norway has to wait until I have at least a 6 k budget, so this was inspiring!

[@campervibe]

Oh wow glad it could be and yeah definitely think you can do it 😀😀

[@shaneosullivan5851]

I’m refitting my boat at the moment and all the boat tubes are not great, but a mate of mine recommended camper builds, your tube was the first one saw, I tell you what girls the build was outstanding but the banter and the traveling fantastic

[@campervibe]

Aw thanks mate 😀

[@ems2330]

A bit over 1000 a month for the two of you? Hell.... thats a bargain I reckon! Thanks so much for sharing the adventures. Im ready for the next!!

[@AngelicFruitcakia]

Really cheap considering you were there for 3 months! Really enjoyed the series! Looking forward to all future adventures!

[@shelleyderossi1737]

Thank you for sharing this. We was told the same thing it would be really expensive. We did the same brought every few days and found that it wasn't as expensive as first thought. Enjoy your break in the uk and hopefully you will be back on your travels around Europe soon as you can. Enjoyed seeing summer and aj enjoying theirs trip too. Big hugs and kisses to you all xxx xxx

[@campervibe]

Thanks we will, now definitely time to get back on the road 😀😀

[@suewiltshire8092]

I was very surprised at how reasonable the cost was, especially the fuel. You had such a great time over there. It's certainly given me food for thought, thank you. Bryn and myself are at the big VW show next week, Busfest, really looking forward to going. I'm looking forward to where you go next. Stay safe love Sue and Bryn xx

[@campervibe]

Have a great time 😀

[@kathleenewing8383]

I didn't find that do be very high. Especially since you stayed in a lot of paid camp sites. I'm a new viewer. Love you guys! Found you through Expawers.

[@campervibe]

Welcome along 😀

[@wilksontour4148]

Wow girls……I think that was a bargain cost for what you saw and experienced in Scandinavia. 👏👏👏👏👍. Fantastic series of vlogs, looking forward to your next adventure.

[@campervibe]

Next adventure starts next week 😀😀

[@wayneball]

Money well spent. You don't need to justify it. The snacks are ok they keep you happy and they certainly don't sit on you. Keep up the great vlogs

[@markchurchward482]

Interesting sum up. I have been watching all sorts of van lifers for many years. Weirdly it seems that where ever people are living in a van costs about £1000 give or take a month. Good stuff ladies, best bit NO BREAKDOWNS 🤩😀👏

[@campervibe]

Definitely the best bit 🙌😂🥳

[@Furree_68]

Just FYI if you not are aware of it, but in Norway there is a higher tax on candy, cookies and soda. It's a so called "sugar tax" to prevent the people to eat to much unhealthy food.

[@campervibe]

Yeah thanks, I mentioned that when I said about the Coke with the extra tax 😀 I think the UK should do that as well to be fair

[@johnarmstrong4015]

Hi, it was cheaper than I thought! I really enjoyed watching all your videos about your trip, it looks like a great part of the world. Glad you managed to get back without a "breakdown" Many thanks for sharing ATB

[@campervibe]

🙌🙌

[@AtHomeInTurkey]

I think it a perfect price for the trip. At home you spent money too, take that of your total amount and it becomes nice and affordable.

[@martinburke8314]

I think Scandinavia used to be more expensive, and if you were to do a "normal" holiday of hotels, drinking, and eating out a lot in tourist areas then it still can be expensive, but the price of standard living is about what I was expecting. Scandinavian tax certainly used to be higher than UK tax (not sure if it still is) so you had to earn more (before tax) to have the same net pay.

[@starvictory7079]

It's higher still, but you get free university, free school meals, free dentistry till you're 25, healthcare, excellent cheap childcare provided by educated at uni staff, student allowance and good student loans, better pensions etc.

[@carlsadventures2361]

Thats great to here that a 3 month tour of Norway and Sweden works out cheaper than here in the UK.

[@patriciastyles1761]

Thank you. Interesting. I'm planning a trip for Summer 2024.
