Comment to Ulf and Viachaslau below: Yes, I agree that several of these things don't seem to make sense as methods of payment -- also "personalmat". The list seems to be a way of assigning transactions to a particular cost code, perhaps as part of an electronic till (EPoS) system. But we haven't been given any information about what sort of text this is, so can only guess.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Ulf Norlinger: "Food delivery" (I understand Viachaslau's confusing below. The enumeration should be preceded with a "för")

45 mins

-> Yeah, that was my first reaction, but then thought that some non-natives might think it referred only to the transport and not the food.

neutral

sweede_sfbay: I assume it's a typo, budmat should be bjudmat as in the example phrase, and since the area has to do with how the meal is paid for the answer then could also be free meal.

51 mins

-> There are 2 different items in the list: budmat and bjudmat. This question is about "budmat".

neutral

Viachaslau : I guess i have a mental block today. Payment options and then comes the list of those options. Does this is mean that home delivery meals is one of the ways one can pay some services for?

2 hrs

-> Well, "budmat" could be paid via the person's mobile phone account (SMS) -- see the second example in the reference below. You can pay for lots of things with your mobile in Sweden. But I obviously haven't got the entire text in front of me....

Igår jobbade jag 0800-2000 kom hem tittade i kylskåpet och insåg att jag jobbar för mycket och inte har hunnit handla, beställer lite budmat, äter den och slöar lite på 99mac med tv'n i bakgrunden.
