What costs what
Norway is famed for its high prices in Denmark. Living and working in Norway you don’t notice it as much being that the wages are proportionally a little higher. But that Norwegians bring a little extra across the borders when they go on vacation abroad is understandable.

Wine and beer is also more expensive than in Denmark. Danes are also not used to buying their alcoholic beverages in “Monopolet”, the only store where you can buy wine and alcohol. Like in Denmark it is possible to buy beer in most regular supermarkets.

We have tried to make a pricelist of ordinary groceries and other things. A few things, besides salmon and some other types of fish, are cheaper in Norway than in Denmark. We have located these at the very bottom. These are only suggested prices. Some stores might be cheaper, some more expensive and they do have special offers in Norway too.

Fastfood is not exactly cheap in Norway either. The pizza is not nearly as good as our favorite Italian pizza from Casa Mia in Århus yet it is more expensive. Below is an example from a local pizza-menu.
