College and Pizza go hand in hand. I remember those later night of “studying” and eating pizza.

I’ve never had Papa Murphy’s. I’ve heard alot about them but of course we don’t have any around here.

Wow! I’m afraid to think of the amount of pizza I ate as a sophomore in college. I would get out of class at lunch time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I would place my delivery order during class so it’d arrive by the time I got home. What a waste!

The thing I’d recommend to people who love pizza (like me!) is to check out Papa Murphy’s. I love, love, love their pizza, and it’s much cheaper than chains. When I was having pizzas delivered multiple times a week, I ordered from Pizza Hut, and it always cost me $20 or more. Papa Murphy’s is $7.64 for a family size pepperoni (usually on sale, plus they have a loyalty card that gives you the 12th family size pizza for free). And the pizzas are so large that they usually last through three-four meals, which puts it at $1.91 – $2.50 each meal. I can live with that! It’s still $397 for pizza a year if I buy one each week, but there’s no delivery. And it’s cheaper!

Yeah, living the good life when in debt doesn’t quite work well. When I say good life, that means eating out once in a while. A rare treat for those busting their a$$ to get out of debt. Is that Obama or Bama? I’m from Michigan and all we think about is U of M. We never play Bama so I don’t know much about them.

As for the graphic. I just use Excel to make the spreadsheet and use Evernote to capture it. I usually do it at work and most attaching and screen capture programs don’t work. Evernote has a screen clipper that allows you to select anything anywhere on the screen. Then you just save as a jpg and upload to the post just like any other picture. There are a ton of different ways to do this, but this one is quick and works just fine for me

When we started our debt snowball, pizza delivery — restaurant pizza at all — went by the wayside. I think we’ve ordered out twice in the last eight months: The last time was for the SEC Championship game that BAMA WON! (oh, snap!) Hubs is a big-time Bama fan since forever.
Anyway — Jeff, this is totally beside the point, but how do you do that cool graphic grid up there? Are you copying it from something else you have? I also have thesis, if that makes a difference.

How is the new sauce Ron? I’m NOT a Dominos man and I’m curious if it tastes better.

Do you have any little pizza places around you? You should try one, you’ll probably be surprised how good they are. I’m glad you don’t get pizza 4-5 times a week. Just look at Mark’s totals for a year of getting pizza twice a week.

Ha ha, I can’t imagine traveling 2 hours for a Pizza hut ever! But I guess home comforts are sorely missed at times…. I would travel 10 hours for a nice good quality beer here… All they have are a few largers that are passable but not great. I just want a decent British or even American dark and creamy micro brewed beer.

I just ate pizza tonight!
Two mediums for $5.99 each from Dominos! Perfect for my family of five (including two teens and a 10 year old).
