The McDonald's Big Mac, introduced in 1967 for $0.45, has seen price fluctuations due to inflation and rising operational costs. A map published by Pantry & Larder highlights the cheapest and most expensive Big Macs across the U.S., showing significant price disparities. For instance, a Big Mac costs $3.45 in Stigler, Oklahoma, versus $8.09 in Lee, Massachusetts. McDonald's attributed a 21% price increase of the Big Mac from 2019 to 2024 to various factors, including increased labor costs. The map aims to aid consumers looking for affordable options.
