I also feel that the government always wants to protect own interest when it comes to prices on food, giving extra money to farmers etc...

Perhaps there's no system like that in Norway due to lack of awareness? Also, there's no tradition for selling foodstuffs at reduced prices like they do in Japan...Josteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344249571822255028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-13034273641550111262012-05-26T13:13:22.471+09:002012-05-26T13:13:22.471+09:00The rate was pretty good last year in the months a...The rate was pretty good last year in the months after the earthquake, but since August the yen has generally only gone up. I guess all the problems in EU makes the yen grow really strong against NOK. Unfortunately.. ><<br /><br />Yeah, that would have been nice..! If the bread is going to get thrown away anyway, they might as well sell it with reduced prices. It is kind of a paradox that so much eatable food is thrown away in some parts of the world, when people are starving to death in other..Anettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426870411414656093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202357334265892672.post-31377473038533942422012-05-25T03:33:04.485+09:002012-05-25T03:33:04.485+09:00This post made me check the exchange rate for JPY ...This post made me check the exchange rate for JPY and NOK... Let's just say I feel sorry for you. The very unfavorable rate reminded me of the first period of time I spent in Kyoto, only I think it's even worse! I thought the Yen had become cheaper lately, but no...<br /><br />Funny thing that you could just "wait" a little to get the chicken for half price. I agree that the Norwegian stores should have a similar system. The grocery stores could have 50% off on bread if you buy it late in the evening. Since it's (I suppose) fresh every day, and the rest is going to get thrown out when the store closes anyway...Josteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344249571822255028noreply@blogger.com
