[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go online to Dominos.com and see how much it costs for delivery of 7 pizzas - that is enough for 25-30 kids.  It's more than you think with delivery charges added etc.[/quote]
$7.99 special x 7 = 55.93 x .08 = 4.47 55.93 + 4.47=59.40
 You pick up. Add $5.00 for gas and you are still at 64
40. [/quote]

$5 pizza hut - need 4-5 pizzas double cut.  So, $25 max/$30 with taxes.  You do not spend $5 in gas.  Otherwise with tip its $8-10 for delivery.  You need about 1.5 slices per child, or even 1 slice. [/quote]

A slice or 1.5 per kid?  My kid is in 6th grade. Are you insane?  Many of these kids are 5’3”+. Is that what you allot at your bday parties?  At our holiday party, every slice of 7 pizzas was gone for 20 kids, double sliced. It cost $66.  You guys with little kids have no idea. [/quote]

If its at the end of the day, its a snack not a meal.  I am happy to buy more but then you have to pay for part of it as usually I end up heavily funding the parties.  I don't have little ones, I have an older grade child.  If you are doing it for lunch, that is different but if kids have had lunch, you don' need multiple slices.  And, again, if you are not paying for it, don't complain your child isn't getting enough.  We put out a sign up genius, and depending on the year we either have a few parents help or none - some just send stuff without letting us know but we cannot plan on it so I end up paying for it.  So, yes, because you or other families will not chip in, your precious child is only getting 1-1.5, maybe two slices, not 3-4.[/quote]

You misread what I wrote. I’m a room parent, too. Our parties are over lunch and I’m teying to say it’s not as cheap as they think it is. [/quote]
