I spent a lot on drinks at the restaurant

You are assuming two things here:

1. That one is good cook

2. That one wants to cook this item

Now in reference to these two things. I am a good cook, however, I suck at pizza crust. and gravy. don't know why, but just can't get these two right no matter what I do. and I have tried everything. So, I would prefer to pay someone to make it the way I like it and it taste right and I have no dishes to do! I do think that $10 would be a low number to make two large pizzas though. But it does depend upon what you put on it.

Making pizza requires a special skill. It is not that hard because kids at CiCi do it all the time. However, it is a not worth the trouble. I would recommend people mow their grass and cut back somewhere else instead of learning how to cook everything they see. My wife is a good cook and likes to cook but we don't tackle all the dishes we like. Even at that rate, it is mostly more trouble than it's worth.

Well, nick_45, many people already do mow their own grass and continue to look for additional ways to save money. I hope you can understand that some people want (or perhaps need) to save everywhere they possibly can, including on food. Besides, some people enjoy preparing foods they've not cooked before.

Here's a frugal tip for you: don't tip 20%

I've started delivery during the winter. Love it. Gotta say love coming home once a week and getting delivery in a snow day even better.

perhaps that is considered as the chain's strategy. They still wanted to earn money even through offering a “buy one get one” promo.

$2.19 for a soda at a pizza place? That's just wrong, so wrong.

I have seen friends who spend too much on drinking. I do not approve of it but who am I to stop them. I am just here to advise, or remind. That is all.
