Little Black Dress
People always complain about how expensive Norway is, especially Norwegians. However, Norway really knows how to put on a sale. I have never seen things cheaper on sale than in Norway. In fact, we rarely need to buy clothes full price. There is always a sales clothes-rack with 50-70% off somewhere in each store. Quite often you get a great find. Today I bought a little black cocktail dress for 90% off. It fits like a glove. Boy, did I walk out of that store beaming!

Pølse is THE fast food of Norway. When the grilled pølse was first introduced to Norway in the 50s it was eaten naked – without bread.

I know what you mean. In the U.S. going out for a sandwich and øl is either reasonable or pretty expensive. It always depends on where you go and what’s offered. It’s not THAT big of a difference.
I wish France had been like Norway–there the sales are regulated, so a promotion is rare and 20% off is a huge deal. Everything is really, really expensive. Well, not food, but clothes, yeah. I once paid 14 euros for a bottle of contact solution I could buy in the US for about 3 bucks. I miss France, but I love US clearance sales.
Nice find! Would love to see a pic of the dress.
La rêveuse: Really? I don’t know if it is just in Saint Etienne where I am, but the sales this year have been really good – most of what I bought had like 50-70% off! But, 90% off…wow! Bargain! When I was there over xmas I found that compared to food etc. for clothing Norway really isn’t that bad!
Ah, and ditto to the pic
More pictures please! I’m in a need of a black dress…
Oh what a good news
Do you think there will still be those discount racks when the summer comes? I would really love a pretty summer dress
