If i dont speak norwegian just a little but i speak english well. Thankjou
A hot dog in the gas station is like 59 NOK
Any meal in a asian restaurant.. the crappiest thai or viet dish cost you at least 175 - 200NOK
For more refined asian like japanese or korean the price goes up to 300nok not including a drink
Meal in a Norwegian restaurant is 300-500 for a main entree
Domestic beer 0,5 liter can be as cheap as 22 NOK if you buy the cheap brands; Seidel/Pokal/Bare øl. Other brands like Ringnes and Aass costs about 26 NOK.
You can get a meal in a cheap restaurant for 100 NOK or less:

McDonald's cheeseburger = 12 NOK (takeaway)
Meal in norwegian restaurant = 100-200 NOK, 125-160 is normal price.

if you are a foreigner and not protected by norwegian law like local norwegian citizen dont think that local behaves you equally. when they learn that you are a foreigner and not judged by norwegian laws they are doing everything they can to not to pay you or get everything they can. for example you will probably not get your salaries or full salaries or when you rent someplace at oslo landlord will probably charge you extra for everything you are not responsible of. norway is not a multi national place and people not behaving you as international standarts. before going there be sure that you have all the legal rights and enough income to live properly. my old norwegian boss did noy pay my salaries and when i go to the lawyer he/she asked 3000NOK per hour for every hour he/she worked for me without expenses and because of foreigner status maybe i have %50 chance to win the case.
so be sure that you have all the elements for norway.
