Eh! Using coupons plus my Target cartwheel I can get large DiGiorno pizzas for between $2 and $2.50. How much would the ingredients cost me? Like a buck? For the differential I would rather relax and not make the pizza from scratch.
DiGiorno? You’re really missing the point - the taste. ...and sometimes making food is therapeutic in itself (takes my mind off of other things). Experimenting with techniques and flavors to create something you’ll never get from a box.
If you’re creating pizza that is better than most pizza chains you can hardly put a $2.50 price tag on it. It’s probably more like a $15-20 pizza quality wise. Some ingredients can be expensive, it depends on what you want on it. You couldn’t pay me to eat DiGiorno.
I suppose it comes down to how cheap you want to live at what standard you’re willing to accept.
