Sams Club and Costco.
They're honestly the last line of defense for great prices.

you pay $45 for a membership and then get very low cost per unit buy in bulk items.


their hot dogs and pizza also are very cheap and tasty

yeah just wait till the current leadership makes even more poor financial and economic decisions and then those places will charge just as much as the rest.

can't wait for people to understand feelings alone don't fill your stomach, and can't properly balance the books on a national scale.

If you really want to save money learn to cook as it ain't difficult.

I know it's America and the culture there is more aking to eat out or fast food all the time. But trust me, it isn't difficult. Start simple and work up.

Learn to cook eggs by frying, boiling or whatever. If you can handle that and get to grips with it, you can handle most things.

Then work up to simple meals. It ain't difficult to watch a couple of pans at the same time.

Buying steaks and vegetables and cooking them is far cheaper than preprared crap.

Costco has better business relationships which is why I think they'll outlast Sam's Club.
Although I could be totally wrong in that assumption as well. After all, Sprint did get bought out
by T-Mobile, which is still weird to me because I'm 35, I grew up in the late 90s, and Sprint was a big deal back then.

Making my own pizza with homemade dough is something I want to try. It's one of those takeaway staples here. But I have a stone, I have the flour, the sauce, the cheese. I believe I can do it.

It's a great thing to start with.

If you don't fancy taking the full plunge I recommend trying this.

Go to your local independent pizza shop and ask them if you can buy some dough or yeast (if you really want to try making your own dough - I wouldn't recommend that straight up).

Most places would likely sell you some as I used to do this when at Uni. You can then easily start with that and merely roll it out, put your own toppings on and learn to cook it to how you like it.

Be aware that a stone is good to have but most household ovens rarely get hot enough to make it worthwhile. So you might be better off without it if you're cooking in your kitchen.

I started out by doing it this way, and I quickly progressed to what works for me. I tend to make my own dough if I can be arsed. But sometimes I still just buy the bough for convenience.

I then take tinned tomatoes and drain them then manually bash 'em to make my own sauce (here in Britain tinned tomatoes are usually the plum variety). Add some tomato puree to taste (it will thicken up the sauce too. You can choose to bung in some chopped oregano (or marjoram as they're largely the same) into this sauce if you want.

Just make sure you get as much moisture out as you can so you don't make the dough soggy under cooking. Spread that out and bung the bits and pieces that you want to top it. Remember that veggies like bell peppers contain a fair bit of water so take that into account again as you want to avoid sogginess. Build up and bung any meats on you want to add. I'd recommend putting some added cheese over any salami or thinyly sliced meats to mitigate burning too.

Then learn how to cook it to taste. Keep an eye on it and do it in as HOT an oven as you can get.

Oh wow, Crunchy, sounds more involved than I even anticipated. I didn't even think about the water content of the veggies! I still want to try though. Thank you for the help!

Lol, I don't know much about anything, but the few things I get my teeth into I try to do it as best as I can.

These4 are just things you kind of pick up as you go along, but I mentioned them not just to help you when you try but it serves to illustrate what to think about too.

Best of luck.

Oh and last point. When you first deal with pizza dough, you're going to get messy and you're going to get sticky. LOTS of flour liberally thrown about your hands and working surfaces is the key :)

But the roasted chicken is about the same price as a whole raw chicken.

$1.50 for a hotdog and soda is a great deal.

You completely miss the point.

I said COOKING MEALS. Buying just a chicken is not a meal. You need to be FAR more diligent than picking up stuff you can just unwrap and bung in an oven. Of course a fresh chicken is comparable in price because it's still PREPARED. The giblets are out and it's been cleaned.

That's why I clearly mentioned simple stuff like steaks. While indeed they maybe be in a pack chopped into steaks, you can still go to a counter and ask for your own or go to abutcher and get them cheaper most likely. If you bought a pack of steaks and froze them individually they'd also end up cheaper.

This is the point - you need to think about what you're doing.

If you just go and think "I want to prepare this meal tonight" and then go and buy the ingreients for ONLY that one thing it's going to be expensive.

But you don't do that. YOu buy for all your meals and in time you have half the ingredients already. Stuff like potatoes - you'll use them for a load of meals.

Its secondary at this point, what Costco does is filter for demographics, usually more affluent and better behaved people, while the Soros DA's allow looting of the stores open to the general public.

Crunchy there is as always missing the point, its not about saving money, the Costco shopper has the money not to cook if they don't want to.

I've not missed the point - you've misinterpreted.

I said if you want to save money - which the OP IS saying - then cooking yourself is a great way to do it.
