As part of a personal project I am working on I would like to know how much a big Mac is in as many countries as I can find.
I need to know the regular/normal price of a Big Mac in your countires currency.
So it would look like this
Country Price Currency
LapLand 2.50 Laps
I would like a couple of replies per country, but not many more than that.
Here is our price here in New Zealand.
New Zealand $ 4.45 NZ Dollars

PS I will later expand hope to this to Music CD's, Broadband Connection and wages.
UK £1.80(ish) Pounds sterling I think, havent bought one for a good year or so
Ever heard of the Big Mac Index? ;)

The Economist's Big Mac index is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP), the idea that exchange rates should move to equalise the prices of a basket of goods and services across different countries. Our basket is the Big Mac. For example, the cheapest burger in the chart is in China, at $1.26, compared with an average American price of $3. This implies that the yuan is 58% undervalued relative to its Big Mac dollar-PPP. On the same basis, the euro is 25% overvalued, the yen 17% undervalued.

that is one way of looking at it...
another way is this: they are selling right now here @ 2 for $2.22 (or in otherwords, $1.11 each) so......
$1.11 = £0.59. Sounds to me you are getting ripped off :-P

Hello!
I dont know what a Big mac costs but I know what the whole menu goes for the Big Mac meal regular or as it is called in Sweden Big Mac & Company it cost 49 swedish crowns meaning around US $7 making it one of the most expensive Big Mac in the world only Denmark and Switzerland costs more and I think Cyprus comes in 4 on the list. If I would make a qualified guess for just the burger itself I would guess almost $5.
So Mcdonalds are not cheap here in Sweden often Pizza's are cheaper!!

I've never had a big mac.
I need not have replied in this thread but felt it rude not to. :)
