Ikea‘s Iconic Wiener Sausage Price Jumps 40% to NOK 9
OSLO, Norway – Ikea’s famously affordable wiener sausage has seen a meaningful price increase, now costing NOK 9 – a 40 percent jump from its previous price. The change, observed at Ikea’s Furuset warehouse in Oslo on Friday, reflects broader economic pressures impacting even the Swedish furniture giant’s most beloved staples.
For decades, the inexpensive sausage has been a draw for Ikea shoppers, often serving as a rapid and budget-amiable meal during store visits. While still representing a bargain compared to other outlets, the price hike signals a shift as inflation continues to affect food costs across Norway.DinSide’s visit to the Furuset location revealed customers largely unfazed by the increase, many acknowledging the sausage remains a good value.
“I am more shocked by the prices in the grocery store,” one shopper commented.
Another customer, Jonny Olsen, enjoying a sausage with his son Sigve, noted, “It’s cheap anyway. It costs a lot more at the petrol station.” The pair, visiting from Alvdal, described the wiener sausage as a traditional part of their Ikea shopping trips, often indulging in two or three sausages per visit.
Despite the price adjustment, the sausages appeared to be selling steadily, suggesting the increase hasn’t yet deterred loyal customers. The change underscores the widespread impact of rising costs on everyday items,even those traditionally associated with affordability.
