This is how much a Big Mac will cost you across the country.

Inflation has taken a toll on the cost of food over the past few years, with the price of ingredients, fuel and packaging all contributing to sticker shock at the register.

In fact, while meat, poultry, fish and egg prices fell 0.1% according to the latest data from the Labor Department, it's the first time that prices have gone down since December 2021.

While the Big Mac is still pricey in Hawaii, it's a steal compared to other parts of the world.

In Belgium, the sandwich costs $5.94, while Italian McDonald's diners are paying $7.13 for their Big Mac.

The cheapest Big Mac in the world can be found in Pakistan, according to CashNetUSA, where it costs just $1.91.
