Pfft, I always buy a frozen pizza specifically because I already know I'm not gonna feel like cooking after grocery shopping because it sucks. I don't even pretend anymore. All that fresh food is for another day.

[–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I specifically buy easy dinner stuff while.im out shopping for the same reason. I spent an hour getting food so now imma take it easy and eat this mac and chicken strips from the deli.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 months ago (5 children)

I'm curious how your shopping trips look like to be called exhausting, i just bike to the store, scan the products, stuff them in my backpack, pay, and bike home. Takes 15 minutes tops if i don't leisurely walk around looking at the shelves.

[–] Ember@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As a family that tries to cook as many of our meals as possible and generally visits the store once a week, it can be a big endeavor. To make balanced, healthy meals for the whole week requires a large variety of ingredients. This makes meal planning before the trip and having a list necessary, and then there’s a lot of searching for things that may not always be in stock.

Additionally, we often restock household necessities and toiletries on this trip as well, which requires more planning and a longer list. Add all this together with carrying all the bags, putting things away, etc, and it can be pretty exhausting.

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

I've been on both sides and they're both true. Biking in to get ingredients for one meal is quick. Taking a car to gather a week's supplies (I still have to go back for something later) is a bigger endeavor.

I try to time it with my work schedule, which changes a lot. Old people block aisles and chat from 10 to 12. It's deathly busy from 3 to 5.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

I'm not the person you replied to, but when I go grocery shopping I usually buy ~$200 worth of groceries and expend a bunch of energy hauling them all up 3 flights of stairs to my place which can be tiring, plus traffic to/from the store, plus putting them all away, clearing space in the fridge, etc.

I'd guess it's a combination of the physical and mental tolls of grocery shopping.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

A lot of Americans don’t have grocery stores within 15 minute bike distance

Like the last day it looks like it can still be usable before you're forced to "throw away money".

[–] Soggytoast@lemm.ee 61 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Sometimes I think about getting pizza hut, then I remember it costs 36$ for 2 pizzas, so I just go to the store for two 6$ pizzas

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I like the totinos party packs. You can fold them up like an extra large soft taco and fill it with whatever you got on hand

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How is pizza hut still in business

[–] umulu@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Because, like many other fast food businesses, the prices have gone up across all of them.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

How many times do we need to tell you? No one out pizzas the hut.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The smartest thing is to buy the dough, sauce, and mozzarella yourself for $18. …wait-

Domino’s does 2+ medium 2 topping for $6-7 each. Or you can get chicken or other random things like tots and bread. Not the best in any category but not awful so if you just need to feed some people it’s good by volume . My local pizza places are significantly better quality and price.

Who buys a frozen pizza to just keep in the freezer?

Im buying that shit because Im gonna eat it.

[–] cmrn@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.

[–] marble@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago

I'm glad you were able to escape.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The trick is to buy 10 of them, then cook two right away and you have enough to eat for two more days

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna share a really closely held secret right now:

If you cook 3, you have enough for 3 days!

[–] mariah@feddit.rocks 9 points 6 months ago

Why just cook 3? Cook all 10!

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Wait till Y'all find out 711 whole fresh pizza is better than Domino's and pizza Hut and costs less and is faster than frozen....

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, it would be faster if I didn't need to drive 4 hours for a 7/11, but I get ya.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Still better than me, I'd need to catch a flight

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

If you fly spirit, it still might be cheaper

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 6 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I guess it's similar, but here in the Netherlands we have "fresh" pizza's at the supermarket. They're kind of in-between frozen pizza's and a pizza delivery in terms of price, but imo they're actually by far the best. For 6-7 euros you get a pretty big pizza with fresh toppings, that's done faster than a frozen pizza or waiting for delivery, and also tastes really good. In the Netherlands it's common to live very close to a supermarket, so for me it's be like a 2 min bike ride to get myself a pizza.

Anyone else prefer a frozen pizza over delivery? Like, taste wise? Like it's better than dominoes or pizza hut.

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Local pizza places are usually both cheaper and better than chains, at least in every neighborhood I've lived in. I think they are better than frozen pizzas, but also about 2x the cost. Both vary from place to place though.

Aldi's pizzas are my go-to for value. Usually around $6 a pop now (they were $3.29 pre-pandemic). I add extra cheese and toppings to remind myself I've made it in life.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

you know sometimes i forget that pizza chains exist in other countries, here in sweden (and i think generally the nordics) they simply are not a thing because middle eastern immigrants have outcompeted them from the start.

From a blogpost i found there are aparently some 70-ish pizzerias per person in NYC, whereas there are 400+ per person in sweden. It's literally more likely to find a pizzeria in a small village than it is to find a grocery store, and theyr are ALL staffed by people from turkey/syria who are very likely to be family or at least know of each other. They also always serve other stuff like kebab or schnitzel.

It's honestly such a fascinating phenomenon and i'm sad the rest of the world doesn't effectively have pizza as a human right.

There are more pizzerias than people? Or is it 70 people to each pizzeria in NYC and 400 people to each in Sweden? Or like 70 pizzerias to 1000 people?

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You go to new York and just immediately get bombarded with pizza, when you get off the plane they put a pizza around your neck.

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

we have kotipizza in finland. it's shit. but it's kinda allright sometimes. I always go to the little places. I even formed a sort of relationahip with one place because I used to go there so often I didn't have to order to get just what I wanted. those little chain free places are special

YES God yes. Sometimes I specifically crave frozen pizza and no delivery pizza or restaurant pizza would fulfill the desire. It can be the other way around, too, I might crave delivery or restaurant pizza. But mostly, if I want pizza, I want the frozen stuff. It's good. It doesn't overdo the cheese/fat or toppings, the size is better, it is more predictable, the crust is must better. There's just something about frozen pizza. 9 out of 10 times I prefer it.

Sadly frozen pizza tends to not have good crusts. The only exception I've found was interestingly enough the cheapest of pizzas, the Totinos Party Pizzas.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Tombstone has a good, crispy thin crust similar to those party pizzas. Unfortunately the toppings aren't really better than those.
