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.

[@MarkFilipAnthony]

No, its mainly due to High taxes, not so much about high pay at all.

You earn let's say 4000 and use 3000 a month, what's the difference from a country where you earn 2500 but only use 1500 per month. Everything is relative.

The amount of what you get is usually smaller.

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.

Norway is so beautiful with all those mountains and fjords. The Democracy Index lists Norway as the most democratic nation in the world. The U.S. is 25th. I couldn't take the months of cold and darkness in the winter, though.

[@ivarlosna6516]

@@alwaysuseless The Democracy Index is faulty when it comes to measuring true democracy, it is as if they don't understand the meaning of the word, otherwise Switzerland would be number one far above the rest. Sure, Norway is more democratic than the US, but that doesn't take much.

It's important to note, that food is cheapest at grocery stores in Norway. Don't use gas stations, news stand kiosks or 7/11 type establishments. They are just silly expensive. Anything that is 24/7 type of establishment is just stupid to buy from in Norway.

What about the price of organic food, I suppose the prices are even higher

[@SimpleNorwegian]

Yes organic foods are always more expensive. You need to pay a premium if you don't want a bunch of pesticides circulating in your body 😅

I love how calm Norwegians are

[@luis_zuniga]

Surprisingly some of those prices are similar to what we have in my city in Mexico.

Norwegian delicacy. Its toenail clippings roasted in oil, instead of roasted onions. Its delicious.

[@enqrbit]

Half of these things are pretty much double the prices we have in Sweden. The rest are the same in Sweden for example ice cream on stick/cone, coffee , buns, Starbucks prices, McDonald's prices, oil and some veggies such as gherkin/cucumbers, cabbage and carrots.

[@sonjareineck]

Store brands like xtra (coop), first price (bunnpris) and rema 1000 are really cheap though, some of the products are pretty good

[@godikke]

As a Dane I really don´t understand why it is so expensive in Norway. The wages and the taxes are comparable between our two countries, but the prices in Norway are almost double the prices in Denmark.

[@abcabcboy]

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.

[@godikke]

@@abcabcboy A Danish farmer is paid 2,43 dkr. per liter milk, a Norwegian farmer is paid 5,47 NOK per liter (=3,70 dkr) In Denmark one liter of milk costs 9,50 dkr. In Norway one liter of milk costs 19,40 NOK (= 13,14 dkr) The VAT for food items in Norway is 15 %, the VAT rate in Denmark is 25 %. So who is "skimming the cream" in this milk business?

[@niteynite]

Probably some other link in the chain from farmer to customer. It could be transportation costs, packaging, store employee wages. I'm sure it's there somewhere. If not, it's the Odd Reitans of the country. Can I buy 1000 liters of milk from you btw?
