    How much does a Big Mac cost in America? Today in New Zealand, I got a medium Big Mac meal for $9.40

      There are a lot of differences in how the economies are set up in different countries. You likely have additional costs going to the Government plus a lot of import fees we don't have to deal with.

        Sure, but what's an extra 30 cents to you? Is it only a 3% increase, or what?

        What import fees?

          Didn't say anything about paying a bit more for something I have not had in over a decade. Minimum wage is unlivable in this country and that is complete garbage, but I'm not balancing the largest economy on the planet.

          It would also appear New Zealand sources most there own ingredients in country, similar to how it is done in the US. You only import a few sauces and anything with pig. On top of that New Zealand exports $380 million in McDonalds raw product to nearby countries. Pretty cool.
