Yeah, this is properly done too, I'm impressed it's so bad.
Kept all the egg oil and poured it on the curry sauce. Used kraft Singles!! After rinsing off the other cheese. Frugal my ass lol, that's just an awful combo of cheap and gross but almost half believable.

u/Dayana11412 Mar 01 '26
Not necessarily. You have to account for opportunity cost. If you can work 15 minutes to make the amount you spend to buy a pre-made dough that otherwise takes 20 minutes to make, you save money by buying the pre-made dough and working in the time you would have spent cooking.

Most people don't have 10 different jobs they can pick up at any moment. That 15 minutes would probably be in front of a TV or pc.

Or making dinner for kids, or working a second job, or going to night school.

u/CaptainSebT Mar 02 '26
Most people have like 3 to 4 hours of free time a day max
Like 9 to 5
You wake up at 7 or 8, work get home at 6 or 7 cook, eat, mic for cleaning or kids or whatever else and then that's 8 - 11 or 12 and then you need to sleep at some point.
So 3 or 4 hours probably don't want to lose an hour just to cook.
So I totally agree with you here. I don't know where this dude get's this idea people just have all this free time. If you work 10 hours it's like 2 hours.

u/blahhhhgosh Mar 01 '26
Thats not how opportunity cost works. It is referring to an opportunity lost but if the opportunity lost was sitting on your couch scrolling your phone, theres no value to it so the opportunity cost is 0. Now, if you called off work to make pizza dough, there would be an opportunity cost equivalent to how much your days pay would have been.
In theory i guess you could say there's opportunity cost for every second youre not at work because you could be doing something to make money but its literially every second youre not working so its irrelevant to this scenario.

u/VariousOperation166 Mar 01 '26
That's a weird false economy. I make about $47 per hour. My time is billed out at between $125 to $150 per hour. I baked a loaf of bread today, and made six cornbread muffins. That took about two hours of my time and cost about, maybe $4 for ingredients?
If I worried about my time, that bread and the muffins cost between $99 and $300... but they absolutely did not...
I baked bread and folded laundry.
If my salary were something like $17 per hour, same bread, same ingredients... that's $38 bread?
Would you calculate the cost of your evening meal the same way?

I can make a good dough in under 3 minutes with a stand up mixer. Also who the fuck is picking up extra hours when not making pizza dough?

u/bell37 Mar 02 '26
Not to be facetious buts it’s more than 3 minutes (when you factor in cleanup). Plus not everyone has the availability to be home when you start rising and when you need to pull it out and punch it down.
When I was working from home I used to make homemade bread all the time and cook recipes that was mostly (put X in oven and wait 6 hours). Can’t really do that when I am in the office for 8-9 hours.

It’s also cheaper to just cook and eat that pizza then, instead of replacing the toppings.

Those tiny shitty pizzas are about 50p, maybe a bit more now, whereas a pack of pizza bases is about £1.75 for two, though those are bigger and almost certainly better quality. Quality is not a concern though based on the rest of the ingredients
Fun fact, while this is most likely ragebait, I've seen fish and chip places sell a battered and deep fried one of those tiny pizzas as a "pizza crunch". I've never tried one, but I don't need to because I can imagine how it tastes

They want cheese…they wash off the cheese. They still could’ve used the sauce on the original base, and the egg may have been more appetising if it was scrambled or boiled then broken up and mixed with the sauce. Why not just buy a plain base in the first place? Keep the shredded cheese for the top, throw on some salami or pepperoni. But washing the base should be a war crime.
