I don&#8217;t have any lower price grocery (like Bonus) stores where I am living in Iceland due to small population (around 1400 people live in the multiplicity of H\u00fana\u00feing Vestra). Denmark is considerable cheaper when it comes to buy food then Iceland, since it is possible to buy cheap food and there are always offers in stores. That is not the case in Iceland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the night of 11-June-2015 an earthquake swarm took place on the Reykjanes ridge.
