You could for instance take a ferry trip from Stavanger to Denmark, I think it's to Frederikshavn , small town , however you will find cheaper clothes and other things in Denmark than in Norway.

People living in Oslo on the other hand might go to Sweden for shopping.

Alternatively, try a 2nd hand store - there is no shame in buying used clothes, many Scandinavians do, especially students and pensioners.
