ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Anyone who has spent time living in Denmark knows that it's one of the most expensive countries around. That's true when it comes to food shopping, too.
One Dane who had lived in the US explained it this way: "In Denmark, every supermarket is priced like Whole Foods."
For those of you who haven't visited the States, Whole Foods is a high-end grocery chain nicknamed "Whole Wallet" or "Whole Paycheck."
But there are a few creative ways to save money on food in Denmark.
Danes hate food waste, so the prices of some food in grocery stores actually drops near the end of the day or right before the item's expiration date.
You can visit farmer's markets, or if you live near the border, go shopping in Sweden or Germany to save cash.
