Big Mac parity

I went into a McDonalds at a service area to see what the price of a Big Mac is. It was $4.90NZ. This converts to about $3.40US. As noted earlier, the products in NZ include tax in their prices. This McDonalds was in Auckland, so seems pretty reasonable.

I had a real bargain last night for dinner. One kilo of green lipped NZ mussels for $9.50NZ. They were much bigger than the ones service in the states. About the size of an oyster and there were 20 of them. I managed to finish them off with the help of a couple of large Stella's!

  1. I know you said the food is nothing really wonderful, but McDonald's? I'm sure you were just doing field research for the Economist!
