In recent years, Norwegian families have faced a significant increase in food expenses, with costs rising by 33% over the past three years, according to the Consumer Research Institute Sifo.

This surge is more than double the general price increase for other goods.

The Statistics Norway (SSB) reports a 26% rise in prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages during the same period.

Several factors contribute to this trend, including a weaker krone and increased costs of essential inputs, many of which are imported.

This situation mirrors a global pattern, as food prices have been climbing worldwide, albeit starting earlier in other parts of Europe than in Norway.

As families grapple with these rising costs, experts and economists are sharing innovative tips to help manage and reduce food budgets.
