how much is a big mac in your country

[King of Asgaard]

I honestly have no idea, but this thread made me realise that I haven't been to a McDonalds in close to a decade now. Wow.
My country's currency changed since then. It's been THAT long.

 

[purf]

they raised the price recently to, I think, 35 danish Kroner which makes it's a whopping 6 USD. Just the burger.

 

[Happiness Assassin]

Don't know as I go for the Nuggets every time. McDonald's burger are terrible in my opinion.

 

[Yggdraz0r]

?3.35 for a burger, ?5.95 for a meal and ?0.60 to make it large.

McDonald's isn't available in my country anymore. They left some 3 years ago and the shops were sold to a new local burger chain called Metro. But last time they were here it was probably around 8$ for just the burger 10$ for a meal. That's generally what a take out meal costs around these parts. I'm told Norway beats us in "ridiculously expensive food" but only by a little.

Norway is rich. I mean, REALLY rich. Looking at Wikipedia. the GDP per person in the US is $49,802. In Norway, its $97,254. They happen to have the combination of a low population, advanced economy and oil.

Over here, £4.09 for a meal.

I'm going to nominate this guy for my answer because that sounds about right.

Also because he's right about Norway. Much higher GDP, much higher costs. I remember going into a supermarket and seeing a 4 pack of Carlsberg for a price that in the UK would buy you 4 pints of something much better in an actual pub. Because that's my go-to metric for some reason.

I much prefer Burger King or KFC. Or a good chippy tea.

Somewhere along 12-15 USD here in Norway. Nobody else have any right to complain anymore.

Also Norwegian so this is what I have to pay. Now I never eat Big Mac and I rarely eat at McDonalds or out at all though, but eating out is generally quite expensive.

 

[Zac Jovanovic]

I've not been to to McDonald's for at least 5 years, so I have no idea what the current prices are. When I was there last they were ridiculously overpriced and in my humble opinion rather crappy.

I mean, you can buy a burger made in heaven for 4$ here, why would anyone would pay double for a McDonald's burger is beyond me. I've been to KFC a couple times and I didn't mind the food quite as much, but still either can't compare to good old local restaurants.

Here's a pic from couple weeks ago, this baby cost like 2.8$, fries and all,and it's stuffed with all kind of delicious goodies, in a homely local restaurant.

Too many calories and too much shit for a reasonable person to eat in one sitting.

Uhuh and how many converted dollars per hour is your supermarket shelf-stacker paid eh?

 

[Vrach]

3.90 EUR or 5.00 USD in Finland. I've ever only had one, but unless they do them wrong over here, I don't understand how this could be the most popular burger on planet Earth.

It's not. Not even in America, there's way better burger places than McDonalds (from what I hear, my cousin lived there for a while and she LOVED McDonalds here in Serbia)

No clue, never buy it. I get cheeseburgers if I'm in a McDonalds and I don't go there much, prefer barbecue stands here in Serbia.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Meh, I only eat chicken so I wouldn't know. Plus, I prefer Wendy's, I may pay few dimes extra, but the portions are bigger, and the quality of the food is worlds better compared to McDonald's(at least at all the Wendy's I've been to in my state). McDonald's in my area overcook things, and if they aren't doing that, they are under-cooking them.

Somewhere along 12-15 USD here in Norway. Nobody else have any right to complain anymore.

Wow inflation most be nuts in Norway, or maybe non-local chain restaurants are just that expensive.

In the US for that you can at least get two full meals with large fries and large drinks, and then something extra for that much.

Nope. Usually, these 'comparisons' only come with raw prices expressed in the local currency, to muck shit up.

Most of the time higher wages, compulsory healthcare and employee insurances don't quite make it into these comparisons. Last time I checked, a humble McD worker could anywhere as low as USD 5.00 per hour, whereas in other places it's more like USD 10.00 or even USD 15.00, depending on what sort of exchange rate mumbo jumbo you apply.

Over the area where I choose to roam, I pay anywhere between USD 4.00 to ~USD 8.00 for one Big Mac, and that really is just the burger, not the meal, as much as I like dem perterters or some caffeine, they are just not part of a meal to me.

 

[Amaury_games]

I haven't been to Mc Donald's for a Big Mac for a while. Let me try to remember:
Here in Brazil, we have now a special order of just the sandwich. The Big Mac is R$ 6,50-R$ 8,00, which translates to 3 to 4 USD, since a US Dollar is a little above 2 Reais.
The whole meal is about R$ 18,00, I guess? Then it would be 9 USD. I'm surprised to find that other countries have it more expensive. I believe this is because we produce a lot of meat.

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

Around here, they cost several of the local currency.

... don't know the exact price.

 

[IllumInaTIma]

There's actually a Big Mac Index that Economists use to compare exchange rates
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index
As for me, there's no McDonalds in Kazakhstan.

 

[marurder]

You are aware there is BMI? Big Mac Index? It's used to measure the purchasing power of a country.

you are aware there is more than 200 countries right? also not accurate lol., like in america the price fluctuate between states.
Primary source more reliable than secondary to
also to that other guy, it was just by itself not in a meal.

$5.75AUD what a rip of

Wait, wait. What? I'm sure the burger itself is under $5 here in Melbourne with large meal being $7 something. I mean, I haven't been in a while, but I'm sure that's what it was a few weeks ago.
