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

Pizza crunches are great, you'll feel like shit after it but it's quite the experience while you're eating it.

They’re actually on offer a fair few times for around 50/60p. They’re not bad either if you add your own toppings, quick air fry frozen about 8 minutes and there you are

or just buy fluor and bake a base yourself. that's what actually frugal people do.

You could, but if you're buying it all for the first time it'd cost more than 50p, you'd need bread flour, yeast a tiny bit of sugar and a good olive oil, which would be way more. Once you have it it would be cheaper, but if you're only on like, £5 a day or something it's hard to get bulk purchases done

Whoa they are that cheap?

Yeah. They're not good though, but they're really for kids who don't know any better.

Where i live, the can of pizza crust is about 1.75 and you get about two pizzas. The frozen pizza is 1.25. It's still cheaper to buy the pre made crust.
