Image via WikipediaConsider the cost of going out for pizza. You're paying a premium price for globules of fat, a tiny bit of topping and the convenience factor.
How convenient is it though?
You don't only need to take into account the cost of the pizza but also any sides you may order, the time taken to decide what you'll have, fuel to pick it up (unless you PAY for home delivery) and wear and tear on your car. Not to mention having to go out into the elements instead of staying in the cosiness of your own home.
Pita Bread Pizzas can be whipped up in minutes, save you money AND are healthier (lower in fat).
Simply keep a packet of pita bread (or any flat bread) in your freezer ready for when you want to make your own pizzas. Top with pasta or pizza sauce (depending on taste), your favourite toppings and some grated cheese.
It's so quick and easy, you can even get the kids to do it. Or everyone can make their own, putting their favourite toppings on top.
EXTRA MONEY SAVING TIPS
To make your pizzas even cheaper, you can follow these tips. They take a little more effort but will save a few dollars.
- Make your own pizza bases. A simple scone dough works OR use a bread dough (bread dough makes DELICIOUS pizza bases)
- Grate your own cheese
- Top with leftovers rather than specifically purchased toppings
