Cheap homemade pizza!

Who doesn't love pizza? Well, my son doesn't, but he's different. My husband and I sure do. A few times a year I get to use those free $10 Pizza Hut gift cards, but the rest of the time I just can't stand spending a lot on pizza.

So, I buy two 50-cent Great Value pizza dough packs (Ready in 5 mins! Add only water!), a $1 can of pizza sauce and a $2.99 1-pound bag of shredded cheese at Dillons when it is on sale (You can often get 8 ounce bags for $1.50 to $1.75 as well at Kroger and other stores). I only use about a third of the can of sauce, freezing the rest for later, and a third of the bag of cheese. That makes for a large-size pizza costing $2.33.

The other night I also got Canadian bacon (used half the package), olives and mushrooms, (used half of each) and some sausage I had previously cooked and frozen, bringing the total cost to $6. If you add cut up tomatoes, onions, peppers, jalapenos, or even chicken, you could make for a very healthy and low-cost dinner. Give it a try, enjoy and save some money at the same time!
