Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Oatly Cost: 28KR Found at: Coop My first week living on my own, I went out and did a massive food shop. The grocery store was not nearby, I didn’t have a car, and I didn’t know the bus routes, so I stumbled home under the weight of all my groceries, sweating and... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cloetta Cost: 7.5KR Found at: Coop You cannot get more classic than this Center bar. Milk chocolate with a smooth caramel filling. Its sweet, its mellow, its exactly what you need in the middle of the day when the blood sugar is getting low. In fact, its very similar to a Plopp bar,... Continue Reading →
Brand: Pirrig Cost: 10.95KR Found at: Coop I am not someone who should be giving advice. My life is a collection of classic blunders based on fundamentally flawed logic. That being said, if forced against my better judgment to give advice, I would give the following: Do not go running. If you do... Continue Reading →
Brand: Baba Succo Found at: Coop Cost: 29KR This is a popsicle. That much is clear. There’s no denying that it consists of frozen juice on a stick. But I’m not sure that it knows that.

Brand: Frazer Found at: Coop Cost: 15KR The show MadMen is something of a running family joke. My grandfather was just such an adman in the 60s, and the domestic life depicted in the early seasons is something my mother loves to reference to help explain her own upbringing. There was certainly not as... Continue Reading →
Brand: Rydbergs Found at: Coop Cost: 27.50KR for 200g, 47.50 for 400g The history of Swedish Cuisine generally follows a very simple precept. Import a new animal, vegetable, or foodstuff. Add mayonnaise to it. If it works, keep it. If it doesn’t, ditch it. I thought Japan was mayonnaise crazy, but Sweden built... Continue Reading →
Brand: Marabou Found at: Coop Cost: 15KR When I was a tween, I went with my family on a hiking trip in Sweden. It is possibly the most privileged thing I’ve ever done, and it was marvelous. I’d always wanted to go to Europe – I’d hassled my parents for years about it... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cloetta Found at: Coop Found at: 7.5 KR You cannot go wrong with a milk-chocolate bar filled with caramel. Unless, of course, you name it “Plopp.” But as much as this candy bar evokes like the sound that ruined the romance of a horse-drawn carriage ride, there is a reason that it’s a... Continue Reading →
