Oslo, Norway – Norwegian consumers are finding more opportunities to save on groceries, with a recent analysis revealing a total potential savings of 948 kroner (approximately $88 USD) on a basket of 20 essential items, according to price comparison experts DinSide and Enhver.no.
The findings, published on February 17, 2026, come as welcome news for shoppers facing steadily increasing food prices. DinSide’s price trackers found that, unlike the pre-Christmas period, discounts are now available on healthy staples like fresh salmon, chicken fillets, and Norvegia cheese.
“It’s becoming increasingly important to compare prices, now that prices are rising faster than most people can keep up with,” said Truls Lea, a price hunter with DinSide. “We’ve seen a shift from discounts on less healthy items, like chocolate and soda, to more nutritious options.”
Bunnpris emerged as the leading supermarket for savings this week, offering prices 26.2% lower than Kiwi on comparable items. DinSide awarded Bunnpris a rating of 5 out of 6 for its weekly flyer, whereas Kiwi received a rating of 4. Rema 1000 received the lowest rating, a single point on the scale.
The analysis highlighted specific deals on toilet paper, beef tenderloin, and salmon as particularly advantageous purchases. DinSide and Enhver.no also created a separate “family basket” of 11 items, estimating potential savings of 863 kroner for a family of four.
The price tracking efforts are part of an ongoing project to monitor grocery costs throughout 2026. According to DinSide, the experts are currently on track to achieve their goal of saving consumers 30,000 kroner over the course of the year. Through the first eight weeks of the year, they have already identified 5284 kroner in savings, averaging 660 kroner per week.
Enhver.no, which has been providing weekly price information to consumers since 2013, conducts independent, unannounced testing of products in collaboration with Dagbladet. The team compares prices across eight major grocery chains: Meny, Kiwi, Ekstra, Rema 1000, Obs, Bunnpris, Spar, and Prix.
Lea emphasized the importance of strategic shopping, noting that current deals on products like Coca-Cola Zero and Pepsi Max offer significant savings for consumers willing to buy in bulk.
