goes up between every time we order. Therefore, I have been trying Trader Joe’s frozen pizzas. 😳 My favorite one so far is TJ’s Parlano pizza. It’s either $5.49 or $5.99. I forget which one because all of their frozen pizzas are in that price range. When we do get a “real” pizza from the mom and pop shop down the street, we get a plain pie and add our own toppings. If we ordered a pie with two toppings, it would be $33 or more, depending on the toppings.
I keep seeing articles about restaurants complaining about “disturbing customer behavior” which includes not coming as frequently, not coming at all, ordering fewer things or cheaper things. They suggest all kinds of possible reasons but never say it’s because their prices are too high. I think restaurants got spoiled by the way we treated them during the pandemic because we wanted them to survive. That couldn’t go on forever. Their customers are struggling too.
ETA that I would not pay $18 for 4 cookies.
