15. Once I learned to make pizza at home, we stopped ordering out.

I bought a Baking Steel, 12 quart Cambro for the bulk ferment, and a 5-pack of single serve storage containers for the cold ferment - those set me back about $180.

Making a pizza is dirt cheap after that. Flour to make 5 - 340g pizzas is pretty cheap, even using King Arthur. Between the tomatoes (Cento San Marzano Style from Costco) and cheese (usually Boar's Head), I spend about $5 per pizza.

For the two of us, it's two dinners and 3-4 lunches.

We bought the same setups for both kids and it's the same for them. Except my son invites work friends over and they'll make 6-8 pies in an evening.
