Always has been the case, but storage options and the reality of being able to eat it all before it goes bad also comes into play. Always order the largest option when one has a family to feed. That's a given.

I bet now you're going to tell us of your kooky ideas to buy store-able items in bulk.

Why should I buy 60 trashbags at 3 cents a piece when I can buy the 10 I need this month for 50 cents?

What if my Dominos pizza is traveling east and my Pappa Johns pizza is traveling west on the same highway with both traveling at the same speed. Assuming it's sunny in Chicago which is about 900 miles away and dogs shoot police, what does the pineapple taste like?

Because there are easier and more efficient ways to be frugal? We're talking about a couple of dollars at a time.

Caring about the few dollars at a time is the definition of being frugal.

So I should spend more money for food I don't want? Great idea.

Well, that's not true at all. If you eat the whole thing for lunch, you're still going to eat dinner. If you only eat a few slices for lunch, you'll still eat dinner. The former scenario is worse for you.


wrong my friend.

if I get a medium, I eat a couple slices once and its done until the next time i get it.

if I get the biggest one they have i'll eat pizza for my meal multiple times during the week instead of a much healthier meal like some chicken breast w/a small salad.

Smaller pizza = less shite going into my body over time.

A dollar here or there to make it less likely I have shite in the house that I eat over a healthy meal doesnt hurt me financially so IDGAF.

I'm not going to buy a large pizza to get a small amount of savings just so I can eat more of something I normally dont eat.


but go ahead with your dollar menu mentality if you want to give yourself a heart attack down the road.

I'm saying that I'd rather not replace multiple meals w/food that is crap for your body.

No shite, right.
This stupid motherfricker OP. Hahah here's a not-so-secret. The biggest arse rapes you can get at Peyton Manning's favorite pizza chain are the 10" small and the 16" xl pizza

Oh and the wings and the new garlic/cinnamon knots. don't buy those.

Nah. I think of frugal as a positive, not a pejorative trait. This is more along the lines of being miserly.

Are people not aware of this? It's almost universal that you get a "better deal" by ordering larger sizes. Businesses purposefully price things that why in order to encourage you to buy the biggest size possible and spend the most money.

Thing is, it's really only a better deal if you actually WANT the extra pizza/popcorn/ice cream/whatever. Otherwise you're just spending extra money for stuff you don't even want.

DON'T DO THIS. For fricks sake. It's $2 more than the regular menu price. Look around for coupons online or in mail. The "two large" pizza deals will come out to be about $2 more than the XL pizza if you find a coupon. And If you know PJ's pizza sauce and cheesing diameters, you get a TON more crust on the larger pizzas.

PJs Managers can be a stickler for rules though. There's a TON of coupons out there that they won't honor unless you tell them you have it. Other places I worked at would have a box topper(of coupons) handy and read from it and give you the best deal. Not so at PJs.

Their announced specials are about 1/10th of the real specials out there.
Online deals are the best right now. PSA from someone who has heard all this from a friend.


The OP's claim is valid at restaurants like Pasttime, Rotolos, Magnolia Cafe in St Francisville(AWESOME PIZZA) where you sit down and there aren't coupons or specials on multiple pizzas.
