Sweden - buying gas

[foxyrider]

Next stupid question

How easy is it to find gas for cooking? I'm particularly looking at Stockholm area as that's where i'll be starting from.

Alternatively, do the campsites usually have a campers kitchen like Denmark?

Or is eating out a better/cheaper option than self catering? Looking at current food prices on line it's difficult to work out!

Cheers

I've never really looked for gas in shops in towns, but a quick google shows Clas Ohlson which you can certainly find in Stockholm and major towns/cities sell gas in their Swedish stores. https://www.clasohlson.com/se/view/COSt ... reLocator/

You'll also find it in some but not all country petrol stations - there tend not to be too may shops etc outside main population areas, so many petrol stations have little supermarkets which are full of useful things . They can be quite good for a coffee and snack (danish pastry, cinnamon bun etc), normally on a deal as Swedes love their "Fika" (coffee/cake breaks)

Eating out can be expensive in the evening, but Monday to Friday you can normally get a "Dagens Lunch" for a reasonable price (by Swedish Standards). Just avoid buying alcohol with meals, it will bankrupt you ! Buying bottles from the state off licence isn't too bad though, if you need a daily fix, or a pick me up ! You can even get British real ale. Just beware they have limited opening hours 4pm Sat close at a weekend.

Thanks.

I'm not a big drinker and I had picked up on the big discrepancy in price when bought in a restaurant.
