Some things are cheaper in other countries because people there pay less for the same thing. It's like if you go to a store and see that a candy bar costs $1, but in another country, it only costs 50 cents, even though it's still the same candy. People in those countries might have lower wages or different taxes, which makes things cheaper there.
Examples
- A chocolate bar in the US costs $2, but the same one in France only costs €1.50, which is cheaper when you convert it to dollars.
