Personal comments
Norwegians have the nice habit to organise parties at home before they go out (Vorspiel) as it is cheaper (though still expensive) to buy alcohol in the stores than to buy it in the pubs or clubs.

Use the local Lidl store for shopping: it is the cheapest. Alcohol is very expensive, so better brinf the allowed ampount from home. Quit smoking or bring the allowed amount from home.. a pack is about 8 €

Take all the food from home. Especially meat. If calling - buy international calling card (Chinese shop in the downtown) e.g. for 100NOK you can call to Danemark for 300 minutes.
