Egg Hunt Across Borders: Norwegians Seek Easter Staples in Sweden!

As Holy Week approaches, Norwegians are facing a shortage of eggs in their local shops, leading to a unique solution—crossing the border to Sweden in search of the coveted Easter staple.

According to Norwegian news outlet Nettavisen, desperate shoppers have been flocking to the Nordby shopping center in Sweden, just 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Oslo, to stock up on eggs for the traditional Easter dishes.

The rush has been so intense that the Maxi-Mat food store at the shopping center ran out of eggs on Tuesday. To manage the demand, the Nordby Supermarket has limited purchases to three 20-packs per household, Nettavisen reported.

Easter Egg Hunt Takes a New Turn

Not only are the Swedish stores better stocked with eggs, but they are also more affordable. A pack of 20 eggs in Sweden sells for 39.90 Norwegian kroner ($3.70), approximately 30% cheaper than in Norway.

Ståle Løvheim, the head of the Nordby shopping center, highlighted the stark difference in egg availability between the two countries. “It’s far cheaper than you get in Norway — if you can get eggs in Norway at all, that is,” he told Nettavisen, noting that on his last visit to Norway, the stores were empty of eggs.

Egg prices are not only a concern in Norway but also globally, as Easter approaches. The market has been affected by disease, high demand, and increasing costs for farmers, resulting in near-historic high prices in many parts of the world.

Norway, known for its high cost of living, especially regarding food and alcohol, has prompted many residents in southern Norway to make regular shopping trips across the border to Sweden. The lower value-added tax in Sweden has made this cross-border shopping a lucrative business for Swedish store owners.

As Norwegians continue their Easter preparations, the egg hunt has taken on a whole new meaning, with Swedish stores offering a solution to their egg dilemma.
