What do we Americans spend 30 billion dollars on each year?



As you can tell by the picture its pizza. Lets be honest, its fast, easy and you can eat it with your hands. We love pizza at our house but when we order it it can get expensive. The hubby wants whole pepperoni, onions. mushrooms and cheese cheese cheese. The girl is veggie only with peppers, mushrooms onions and stuffed crust, the boy is chopped pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, and stuffed crust. I am whatever is leftover from making everyones and I like thin crust. So when we order pizza we are lucky to get it under $25. I can easily make these pizzas for less that $7 total and have gotten it to an art of getting it completed start to finish in about an hour. By the time I order. pick up and get back home you are looking at an hour and if I ordered and tipped the delivery guy and you should always tip the delivery guy I chose to make it and save the money. Plus lets be honest it does taste better homemade.

I am not going to lie and say we never order pizza. If its a rough day and I have no idea what to do its pizza. I got a great deal on pizza from Groupon, like $25 for $10.50 so we will be grabbing a pizza this weekend. With all the seed catalogs coming in and my hubby and I snuggled up in front of the fire planning an even bigger garden the $18 I save each time I choose not to order pizza can be used to order seeds. We have only made decisions on cabbage and onions and are ordering 3 different kinds of each. I dont even know how many varieties of tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, radishes and herbs we end up with.

 Do you know how much you spend on pizza either homemade or ordering each month? I would love to know how much of that 30 billion each of us are responsible for. There are something like 61,269 pizzerias in the United States as well. I wonder if someone has it on their bucket list to visit them all?

So the broccoli sprouts look very  much like they did yesterday. I plan on seeing a difference starting in the morning. I actually went to bed and forgot to drain and rinse them so I had to get up and do that. It was not fun being all snuggly warm watching youtube videos on how to grow the best onions and
having to touch the cold wood floors.



I turned them sideways because I saw this lady do it on Youtube and I thought it made more sense. You can leave them straight up if you like.

I am off to the grocery today. I have a menu, my Shopkicks app ready, my Ibotta deals downloaded, my price comparisons made and am ready to start the new year with saving. Wish me luck. Have you any grocery goals this year. I would love to get out weekly grocery total down by $20 a week, I would love to earn at least $25 a month from Ibotta and $5 a month from Shopkicks towards amazon purchases. I find it hard to make lots of money off of either since I dont buy lots of prepackaged foods. If you do you should really check them out.
