  • Cost of store brand premade pizza: $6-8, 15 minutes cook time, versus Cost of homemade pizza:

    $2.00 for half block of store brand mozzarella cheese (Pre-shredded cheese has additives in it to keep it from clumping.) 1/2 onion - $0.50 2 cloves garlic $0.25 4 ounces tomato paste $0.50 Dry basil, oregano, bay leaf, parsley, paprika $0.10 2 cups flour $0.30 Packet of yeast $0.30

    Total cost of ingredients: $4.45 Ingredient wise, I’m saving $1 - 4.

    The real cost is time. Prep time/clean time: Making dough, chopping veg, making sauce, shredding cheese, bake time, and washing dishes, is 2.5 hours (My hourly wage is $28) so that’s a $70 cost in terms of time. That cost will be variable depending on a person’s hourly wage. Looks like premade, frozen, store brand gets you the best bang for the buck.
