I like the idea!
Two things I would like to see there:
1. In Poland we don't have Euro - I would love to see a switch / dropdown to change the currency for displayed prices.
a) Also I think it will be convenient to for US based people to see the prices in USD

I like this but the trends and comparisons would much easier to see/do if the data were presented as a chart.

the pages are static html generated every day.
also there is no google analytics, fb pixel, cookies etc.
just a clean, fast site that updates its pages every day from official sources.

questionable data sources which wont tell you the real prices, for instance N95 in Tank Ono station in Prague today cost 1.729EUR (41.5CZK)
same with groceries where statistical bureaues usually report some average prices nobody use to buy things for, when everyone buys all groceries in promotion and price in promotion vs regular price can be very different thing in different countries, so countries which have smaller difference between regular and promo price will appear cheaper, while countries where promo prices are much lower than regular prices will appear more expensive
big mac price you show in Czechia in local currency 115 CZK, while the real price is 125 CZK, I checked both restaurants nearby my house

I think it is impossible job to achieve accurate data across so many countries, you can rely on some EU wide data from their datasets but they don§t really show true picture of the prices since each statistical bureau measures them little bit differently despite they should follow same standards, it will be always only very rough comparison
it's like saying US has lowest income taxes compared to EU coutnries, but it won't tell you the whole picture what is paid from all those taxes you contribute in Europe, so in the end if you take into consideration all the things you will get for money you pay it can be very different if you have to pay everything extra with low taxes vs high taxes but many things included for free

Got it. Taxes % will be added next. Good idea thanks!
Also, even though the food prices aren't exact they are close. I think I should keep them.
