Norway isn't that large that driving to the country next door is just what people do to save money?

It's not all about saving money , getting a beer over 4.7% seems to be a good enough reason around here . All drinks over 4.7% are under government control , and can only be bought true official government stores that tax the fuck out of it . The people gladly burn some fuel for a better reasonable prized drink . And while there ad it , get some cheaper smokes and grocery's to .

In Sweden just across the border there are small towns with stores big enough to supply a town four times bigger . One would think those stores where having a hard time during lockdown and closed borders for untested or not-vaccinated . But most Norwegians had no problem getting tested or vaccinated , for it made it possible to keep going like they where used to . People are stuck in there ways , willing to comply to keep those ways going , even when logic is gone or reason and common sense no longer add up . ;-)
