How to save yourself a ton of money

So, how do you save yourself money, by cooking from scratch?

Post pics of your cooking if you like...I made this pizza last night, my son is staying with me, so this is what was left over, I’ve just taken it out of the fridge,..

I am going to save myself money, by slicing it up, then freezing it, I reckon I will get four meals out of that, accompanied by a lot of salad with each slice...

Hi Pauline I make Pizza but I don't freeze them I make a batch of dough/portion it/freeze it.

I make small Pizza's the about 6inch in diameter just enough for one person from the thawed dough.

Meg, that is far better, because when you come to defrost the dough, your topping will be fresh, I will be doing that as well,...this type of pizza ,that I have just cut up,,is great to just chuck in the oven, when time is limited.

Thanks for that tip.

Do you make your own,Muddy?

If my son had eaten all of that pizza, he wouldn’t have room for his, chocolate fondant pudding, with lashings of cream.

Re: How to save yourself a ton of money

We sometimes get gluten free pizza bases, and add our own toppings. Not enough to freeze though, since they are small and we eat them with salad or sweet potato chips.
