Pizza night is $40 now (two pizzas and a breadstick-side), compared to $20

The bucket of chicken meal at KFC is $36

McDonald's combo meals are $11 instead of $6

Lattes seem to be $2 more

Still spending almost double a week on groceries than I was 2 years ago

Honestly domino's is pretty good and is still $8 for a large carry out.

Honestly if you're okay with spending $40 for whatever pizza you like, it becomes redicously worth it to just cook it. Pizza is one of the cheapest foods to make.

For comparison I spend 10-20% more over the same time period in Virginia for groceries. It is certainly not double, not even close. But eating out has gotten rediculous.

Pizza is a blast to make.

I have cealiac's, so gluten free pizza is not cheap. So, I make GF pizza myself. I spend roughly $40 in total, and make 2 great full sized meat lover's pizzas - with everything on it - bacon, pepperoni, prosciutto, salame, cheese, pineapple, onions, peppers, chicken, etc. All in costs are about $20-22 a pie, probably 21-25 if you include large ingredients that are also used for other cooking (olive oil, eggs etc...) which is not cheap but not terribly expensive considering I make it for a group of 4-5 people, so the cost averages out to 10-11 dollars a person.
