Frozen pizzasMy husband is laid off work and his unemployment still isn't straightened out, so money is even shorter than it should be. I just went back to work after being laid off for 2 weeks. So basically we are living on 1/2 our normal income.

We all know it's hard to make the necessary cut backs when, come Friday night, you still want to order Pizza Hut. We have done a good job of talking ourselves out of it and, in the end, are happier for it.

Tonight I said "Let's just order Pizza Hut for once." My husband said, "Hmm, I like those little frozen pizzas from Save-A-Lot!", LOL. So, we decided on making our own Pizza Hut night! We made those little frozen pizzas (one each) and cooked spaghetti and opened a can of Heinz spaghetti sauce and had bread sticks! ALL from Save-A-Lot! Our supper cost us $5.50 instead of $22! And it tasted better!

My local grocer sells some of their hot/dinner foods for less after a certain time of the evening. Mine sells pizzas for $5 each and sometimes they offer two for whatever they choose.

Take a frozen pizza and let your imagination run wild as you "rebuild" your pizza to your liking. We just took a three cheese pizza, used thin sliced ham and chunk pineapple left from a salad, added Feta cheese for a distinct flavor and baked it for the first pizza, my personal fave.

I sometimes buy cheese pizza when it's on sale. For a quick lunch, I'd customize my own toppings and you have yourself a quick meal.

If you are using a store-bought crust, do pre-heat your crust until lightly brown. By pre-heating your crust, it will prevent the pizza from being soggy once you add your sauces and toppings to be baked again.

The microwave is not necessarily the best choice for making pizza. This method is more likely to leave the crust soggy rather than crispy. You can try a browning tray or you made need to resort to alternative methods of preparing your pizza.
