[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always get a two large pizzas deal for $25 (including delivery). I make a salad. This is dinner for three people, and TWO lunches for the same three people. So, one dinner and two lunches for about $32? Yes, I consider that inexpensive. [/quote]

You can make an entire tray of baked ziti for under $10 and would easily serve 3 dinners and 2 lunches. Pizza is not cheap, just cheap compared to going out to eat elsewhere.[/quote]

Three things:
1. You could, but then you'd have to eat "baked ziti". Gag.
1. You're not factoring in the cost of vegetables. Produce is the biggest part of my food budget. You wouldn't feed your family jarred tomato sauce on pasta and call that a whole meal, would you?
3. My time is worth money.

OP's question was, do you consider it inexpensive. Yes, I do. If the question was "would you eat pizza and chinese if you were having trouble coming up with rent money" the answer would be different. [/quote]

Exactly.  The question was "is it inexpensive?" My answer. No. Because, compared with other equally "nutritious foods (pasta = crust, sauce and cheese + other ingredients, including veggies or meat - the pizza still costs more.

Pizza is basically jarred (or more likely canned) tomato sauce on dough. How is it so different? I happen to love both pizza and baked ziti.

It also would take you less time to make the baked ziti than it would take you to go out and pick up a pizza.[/quote]
