In preparation for Holy Week, Norwegians are facing a shortage of eggs in local shops, prompting them to venture across the border to Sweden in search of the traditional Easter food. The Nordby shopping center in Sweden, situated just 100 kilometers south of Oslo, has become a popular destination for Norwegian shoppers looking to stock up on eggs.
Reports indicate that the Maxi-Mat food store at the center ran out of eggs earlier this week, leading to restrictions at the adjacent Nordby Supermarket where customers are limited to purchasing three 20-packs per household. Not only are Swedish stores better equipped with eggs, a crucial ingredient for many Easter dishes, but the prices are also more affordable compared to Norway.
