Complete hogwash, I can say that much.

I'm not completely familiar with the Danish situation, but in Finland everyone also says the prices went up, but the statistics prove otherwise. Some things became more expensive, other things became cheaper, while the total rise wasn't much if at all above what's caused by inflation. The purchasing power, on the other hand, has been rising all along.

edit: Oh wait, I can name one article the price of which went up 50-100% with the Euro: a cup of coffee in a coffee shop. Your average cup of "Scandinavian" coffee just ballooned, and is now between 1-3€
