Researching for a monthlong vacation in Norway but can't figure out how they can afford to go out to eat. Answer: they rarely do. Income is ~10% more than in the USA pre-tax but restaurants cost 2-3 as much. Just gonna pack a sandwich everyday I guess!!

@RootofGoodBlog My experience in Sweden (only been in norway for a few days) is that it's relatively easy to find a moderate priced meal ($12-18), especially for lunch, but that there is very little "cheap" food.

@mattrigney In Norway they apparently have some cheaper options at lunch time in some places too. Seems to be common in much of Europe (and the USA for that matter).
