Sometimes I venture into town and I am SHOCKED to see people buying actual items, especially when I look at the prices!! A diffuser costs the same as a one way ticket to London!

I think I earn a decent enough wage, but I cannot fathom how anyone is buying anything here!

  1. What, where did you buy that? And why do you need a 750 kroner soap tray? I’m in my 40’s and never even heard of soap trays.

    Edit: and solid soap? Eww, it’s more hygienic to use liquid soap.

  2. Liquid soap is better, solid soap is expensive, and worse.

  3. Lol, have you ordered it from a goldsmith made in precious metals or something?

  4. You don’t have to buy Vipp design items. Leave that to the wife! Cries in credit card debt 💸🥲

  5. Well, I can afford it since l make a good living selling soap trays to foreigners.

  6. I’m not gonna lie, around 2020/2021 me and my sister started just having a policy that anything under 500kr which has a practical use (clothing, appliance, decoration so forth) was basically free.

    That being said, we only did this when we started earning good enough money but yes, a soap dish can set you back 750, it can also only cost 150 but it depends on the type you want.

  7. Perhaps items youve been seeing are sold in tourist traps.
    I was in western Norway recently and was appalled to see a simple type c charger cable (just the cable!!) was sold at over 300kr! Same price in multiple petrol station shops, almost thought it was the normal norwegian price for it..

    But at the last shop I tried, I just asked the cashier where can I find one for cheaper and he pointed me out to some large utility store in the industrial area of town and the same cable was only 30 (!!!) kroner.
    Literally 10th the price, and definitely far cheaper than in my own country as well.

  8. You could go buy one for like 20 at some cheap ass store as well… this is probably some designer brand:)

  9. Sure I can buy a 1150kr salt and pepper mill set at Åhléns, or I can buy a 30kr salt or pepper mill at Lidl and get very similar results. This is Sweden but it’s the same principle anywhere. You have to know where you’re shopping and what you’re going for. Rich countries will have insanely overpriced designer items at designer stores and those items just aren’t meant for the average person.

  10. My mom bought a Vipp pedal trash can hoping it would work for more than three months unlike the cheaper ones. It did not.
