Me (putting pizza dough in the food processor): Homemade pizza is SO much cheaper than Papa Johns. Did you realize that the markup is like 300 percent?
Him: uh huh.
Me: I mean, flour is maybe $.50, yeast about the same, a dollar each for a can of tomatoes and a can of olives, then three bucks for cheese, so it's about $6 to make three pizzas. When we buy two from Papa Johns and have them delivered, it's about $30.
Him: But the thin-crust pizza cooked in that industrial oven of theirs is about a hundred times better what you make.
Good thing he doesn't care if I'm frugal. And yes, we're still having homemade pizza tonight. I'm not that much of a spendthrift.
Oh my. Maybe you could talk him into buying you one of those ovens. Until that time, try monday nights, one topping large pizzas, $5.99, carry out. If they are still doing it. When I found out I was pregnant with Seth, we had pizza from Papa John's every Monday.
ReplyDeletethat's the point where i'd have thrown down the dough, and picked up the phone.
