Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.

  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.

  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

Edit: Turns out what I should have been infuriated about is people repeatedly telling me to get takeout and having to repeatedly explain why that wasn’t an option, having people not believe I’m sick, and being repeatedly berated for not magically knowing food coupons exist on the internet when I never order food on the internet. Oh right, and also being a bad parent for not forcing food my daughter doesn’t like down her throat or starving her if she won’t eat it.

By the way, I have another thing to be infuriated about. A huge storm came in and this happened to our trees. I assume I will start being berated for not cutting them down before that happened, but because I have no power or internet at home and have to go to the library to post, your further posts telling me what an idiot I am and how I’m an awful parent and how I’m not really sick will take me a while to read. Sorry to ruin your day. Maybe you’ll find someone else to treat like shit.

Anyway, have fun telling me I’m the worst person on Lemmy, just don’t expect a quick reply.

Oh, and do tell me how stupid I am for not knowing that people who clear up and fix such damage have coupons on their website.

    Because I wasn’t trying to get the best deal

    then why are you mad that you didn’t get the best deal?

      I feel like people have to be purposefully missing the point to make comments like this.

      You used to be able to just order pizza and it be a reasonable price. If you have to do research and build out a coupon spreadsheet just to get a responsible price, that’s a problem.

        Exactly, thanks god. Is mildly infuriating read comments with people reasoning the late stage capitalism practice with basically “git gud” mentality

        Idk in the days where you had to call in you still had to ask if they had deals… Otherwise you’re paying menu price (unless the cashier was feeling extra nice)

          Sure, I think deals and coupons were always a thing, but there were actually deals. I can’t speak for everyone, but I feel like these “deals” now just take an inflated price and make it reasonable. They’re not a deal so much anymore, just a way to make things somewhat reasonably priced.

        This post is a good mildly infuriating post. The pizza does cost too much.

        However, it also seems like the poster wasn’t ready for discussion when posting to a discussion board.
