We ordered Domino's special deal they have going on right now, 2 medium 2 topping pizzas for $5.99 each, plus we entered the code "CINNA" at checkout and got free cinnamon sticks. Mmmmmmmm. This is only if you order online, which was really easy.
Every once in a while, after a long day of yard work or a busy day out running errands, we like to order pizza! We often make our own pizza, a fun little dinner, but sometimes it's too much even for that. Saturday night was one of those nights. My mom and aunt are in town and since they are gardening/yard geniuses, they helped me do some weeding, transplanting and other odd jobs to get our new back yard in shape. That, plus getting our garage ready to host a 4th of July party for our church, had us starving and too exhausted to cook!
Sometimes it is a GOOD thing to get delivery/take out or go out to eat as long as you've budgeted for it. It gives you and your kitchen often much-needed break. But if it's a frequent habit, take a month to save your receipts for eating out and delivery in an envelope. At the end of the month, total it and see how much you've spent. When you see that number, think of all the good things you could be doing with that extra moolah like sponsoring a child in need in another country, supporting a college student for a summer mission trip, saving up to take your family on a mission trip, donating to the local soup kitchen, or even opening up your home to your neighbors for a night of pizza every once in a while.
With a little bit of extra planning and effort -like doubling a recipe and freezing half- you can have some go-to dinners ready in the freezer for those long days when you don't feel much like whipping up dinner. And you'll have the opportunity to bless someone else instead!
