In Sweden in 2025, generally cheap items include basic food products, clothing, and household goods at known affordable outlets. Food prices have risen about 25% over three years but remain lowest in the western parts of the country. Supermarket chains like ICA and Willys are recognized for their low prices across various products, especially staples like milk, bread, and cold cuts. Lidl is also competitive but offers a smaller selection. For non-food items, Gekås Ullared is famous as a large discount warehouse where one can find inexpensive clothing and household items. Swedish specialty foods like sirupsbröd (sweet rye bread) and seasonal berries are also cost-effective to buy there compared to Denmark. Shopping at larger stores rather than smaller local shops generally offers better prices. Overall, Sweden offers savings primarily on groceries and some household goods in these well-known discount venues.
