Where are you getting pizza that it's so expensive? $10-$12 will get you a large pepperoni most places in Canada. I'd say pizza delivered averages closer to $20 but it's leagues better than store-bought. Homemade is a different story, but not everyone can justify that.

Yes, that is really expensive... It was the first time I had ever paid anything like that much for food of any sort.

1 overpriced pizza that is gone in 20 minutes, or 1 Minecraft that I will have forever? That was the kind of calculation I was making, Minecraft was cheaper back then of course.

I guess it depends how you value food, but as someone who doesn't enjoy cooking, that's still less than restaurant prices. I take it you don't eat out much in general then?

Friends often push eating at restaurants and I go but it wouldn't be something I would otherwise choose to do or suggest.

A meal I could have made in 20 mins in the air fryer, but it costs 3 hours of wages.
