How are you coping with inflation?
>>
Ive become comfortable with the concept of not existing.
You should perhaps try and do the same.

i take out $20 loans for papa johns pizza

I've no need to cope since I've not been affected much.

Fine. $89 A week for groceries is ok.

pizza places arent even that good anymore
im just as happy with a 4 dollar frozen pizza over a medium 30 dollar pizza

I left my old company and got a job doing the same thing for 25% more money somewhere else

Only buy shit on sale, and when it's a staple food on sale, buy a lot of it and freeze for later.
>>
>>20426992
>$4 frozen
jealous anon.
here frozen pizzas are as expensive as Dominos Pick-Up and have gradually got to the point where you're paying $9 for cardboard with a bit of sauce on it.
the real 4-head 200IQ play nowadays is to buy a 10-pack of Tortillas for $6 and make your own pizzas.
>>
>>20427077
4 dollars for like a red baron and if i wanna go turbo jew my store brand pizzas are 3 bucks atm
>>
>>20426654
I buy a $1 bag of flour, $1 cheese, $1 tomatoes, $2-3 on some toppings and have enough for 6 pizzas and make one whenever I want. It takes 10 mins to prepare. Can't believe people pay for this shit.

Unironically if you get really good at making pita pizzas they're better than almost any chain pizza

I make mine with pesto, tomato sauce, mozzarella, goat cheese, onion, kalamato olives and mushrooms, then get my oven as hot as it can go and blast the fuck out of them until the cheese is browned, genuinely really good

For $4 I can get a nearly 2 pound three meat pizza from WalMart.
>>
>>20428297

You're being scammed.

Don't get me wrong, I know that making my own is better value. I'm just fucking lazy.

How fucking dumb are you people. You can make 2 personal pizzas or 2 larger thin crust pies with like 2.5 cups of all purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, sugar, a tbsp of oil and some warm water. Your dough will probably rise faster than it'll take for the teenager retards working in Dominos to throw your pizza together and deliver it to you.
>>
>>20428907
You're too lazy to let yeast do it for you? Driving to the store to buy your frozen disc took more agency.
>>
>>20429030
Technically, you should be letting your dough sit overnight or longer
>>
>>20429112
You can leave it in the fridge for days wrapped in clingfilm btw, that's what pizza restaurants do anyways.
>>
>>20429112
How does that contradict what I said? You're still not doing anything, regardless of how long it proofs.
>>
>>20429030
the issue with pizza for pizzalets is rolling the dough. Anyone who can idiot proof that with a purchasable product will make a cool million from fatfucks. it would have to take dough and make a pizza round of at least a 12 inch pie on there though.,
>>
>>20426654
Prices are so insane that when I start looking up restaurants to pick up food from, the prices turn me off, and I head to my kitchen to cook.
>>
>>20426654

By going to my mommy's place for food and raiding her freezer and fridge after eating a nice home cooked meal. The only money I spend is the beers I buy beforehand in the night shop so I can sit through her endless yapping and whining.
>>
>>20426654
I make everything myself, so it's not a big issue. The prices on raw ingredients never go up, thankfully
>>
>>20428100
Wait, explain how this works. What do you do to scam them?
>>
>>20429738

Top kek.
Imagine being this mentally slow.
>>
>>20427077
10 tortillas for 6 bucks? You mean 20 or 30 for three right?
>>
>>20426654
>How are you coping with inflation?
by ignoring it and not changing my spending behavior whatsoever
>>
>>20426654
every time someone kvetches about inflation they show a price tag that's like 3 times the cost of where i shop, like where the fuck do you live dumbass?
>>
>>20427084
>$1 cheese, $1 tomatoes, $2-3 on some toppings and have enough for 6 pizzas
Maybe in 1985. The tomatoes alone cost more than that now.
>>
>>20427084
No you don't, why fucking lie about something so blatantly obvious like that. Do you think no one here has bought food in the last 30 years?
>>
>>20429764
Veggies have costed the same amount for years now. Flour has gone up in price by like a dollar. Better than paying obscene prices on everything premade, faggot

I cook my own food for $40 a week instead of eating trash.

I eat a lot of beans

>>20426654
How? I just saw Domino's has a large 2-topping pizza for $7.
>>
>>20429030
It's more a question of kneading and shaping the dough than it is the proofing.
>>
>>20430536
Worked at a pizza place for a bit there were tons of people who just called up and paid sticker price for shit without coupons or online deals or whatever like $30 for a large 5 topping pie.

They were always driving shitty beaters so they were not just rich
>>
Doing ok
Own a house so cost of living is reasonable and i work in a grocery store so im pretty good at finding the deals

You should try making a real dough pizza
Dont listen to the muh pizza oven shitters, it helps, but you can get pretty good results in a regular household oven
>>
I cope by buying items I frequently use on sale, and by just buying high quality ingredients.

I only eat half of a frozen pizza now because they're too expensive
>>
>>20431017
I don't post often here (usually on Biz), but this anon is correct. I have a 10 or 12 inch cast iron (cant remember the exact one, but it's one of those) that I use to make bar pizzas on the stove to cook the crust, while using the oven on broil to cook the toppings and upper crust.

Experiment a little bit, and you would be surprised how good you can make your own pizzas. I suggest you use monterey jack for this type of pizza, since it does much better than "raw" mozzarella or skim mozzarella cheese.

I've stopped buying fresh stuff, I bulk-buy dried and frozen foods, and I experiment with alternatives to more expensive foods.
>>
>>20431928
He's wrong, but yes "cost" is a verb.
Something costs. It's an action, technically.
>>
>>20431862
Looking into it more, apparently "costed" in that context is a canadian colloquialism. Guess I can blame my north Wisconsin heritage for that one. Anyway
