An entire bottle of wine in Hungary for just $1…I’m moving there ASAP.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what foods they can buy in their country for one American dollar, and the responses were too good to not share. Here are the mouth-watering results.

1.

India — a three-course meal, like pav bhaji (a vegetable curry with bread)

Australia — a Frozen Coke from McDonald’s
