✅ Alcohol. Norway is the most expensive country in Europe in terms of prices on alcohol.
I offer 2 options here:
✔️ Reducing alcohol consumption.
As a bottle of wine in Norway will cost you approx. €20 - €30 / $24 - $36.
📍Vinmonopolet is a government-owned alcoholic beverage retailer and the only company allowed to sell beverages containing an alcohol content higher than 4.75% in Norway

Glass of wine in the restaurant Approx. €18 - €25 / $22 - $30
✔️ Bringing alcohol with you.
As an example, you can bring 6 bottles of wine + 6 cans of beer.

✅ Clothes shopping — always check the price tag!
So yes. Clothes shopping is expensive in Norway in general. But common, €100 for a hat is ridiculous.
✅ Beauty Products Shopping
Normal Chain is popular and well-known in Norway. You can find this shop in the majority of towns.

They have great selection of necessary products; including beauty and hygiene products, mass cosmetic brands, products for the hours: detergents, candles, etc. Also lots of items for pets.
The prices are good! Compare to London the prices are pretty much the same.
✅ Coffee Shop or Why Coffee in a flask is so popular in Norway? 🇳🇴
Average price for double cappuccino is 57 NOK = €5.6 = $7 = £4.9
And that’s why I highly recommend you to have your coffee in a flask!
Coffee in a flask is extremely popular in Norway.
You can fill in your flask with coffee in the morning at home or in the hotel — trust me, it’s not a problem to do so even in 5* hotels in Norway. They will understand 😉
Remember! Places like Starbucks and local coffee chain Espresso House are rather a rare treat.
Let’s calculate.
57 NOK for a cup of soya cappuccino.
Having it every day you’ll end up paying 20,805 NOK, almost €2 000 a year.
And this video is about saving money in Norway, right? 😉
