Have you recently moved to Sweden, or are you planning to move to Sweden soon? Moving to a new place comes with a lot of expenses. From moving cost to paying rent, the initial month expenses are way much than a regular month. These expenses include adding furniture to your apartment, taking kitchenware, even a bike. Shopping is always fun, except the budget constraint :). If this is exactly about you, then you may consider some second hand shopping.
Sweden has a big reputation of being sustainable.
