Frozen pizza is a more frugal option than fast food when you feel run down in need an easy meal.

After a particularly long or stressful day it can be tempting to just get fast food instead of cooking. But the price of fast food is completely out of hand these days. Almost $20 for a meal for one person. It has gotten absolutely ridiculous.

But I have a better idea frozen pizza. I keep a few in my freezer for days I just don't want to cook real food. Popping one in the oven for 10-20 is no less convenient than the drive through line and it's significantly cheaper. Even the nice frozen pizzas like Red Barron are about half the price of a full meal from a fast food place. The cheapest frozen pizzas like the little Kroger brand cost as little as 2 bucks, that is less than the cost of making real food.
