I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.
  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.
  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.
  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.
  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

Edit: Turns out what I should have been infuriated about is people repeatedly telling me to get takeout and having to repeatedly explain why that wasn’t an option, having people not believe I’m sick, and being repeatedly berated for not magically knowing food coupons exist on the internet when I never order food on the internet. Oh right, and also being a bad parent for not forcing food my daughter doesn’t like down her throat or starving her if she won’t eat it.

By the way, I have another thing to be infuriated about. A huge storm came in and this happened to our trees. I assume I will start being berated for not cutting them down before that happened, but because I have no power or internet at home and have to go to the library to post, your further posts telling me what an idiot I am and how I’m an awful parent and how I’m not really sick will take me a while to read. Sorry to ruin your day. Maybe you’ll find someone else to treat like shit.

Anyway, have fun telling me I’m the worst person on Lemmy, just don’t expect a quick reply.

Oh, and do tell me how stupid I am for not knowing that people who clear up and fix such damage have coupons on their website.

Not sure where based op, but a pizza counter top oven (5 minutes) is around €80 in Europe since inflation, but can still be found for around €60 in sales. I guess if there are similar ovens and similar prices that would mean if you find yourself getting pics more than 3 times a year from Dominos, then maybe buy one of those (e.g. Arieta 909 or G3ferrari) It would work out cheaper. Make the dough, buy the toppings put them all in the freezer. No smell other than the same smell from cooked pizza.

That’s not a smell I can handle. I stay in my office in the garage when pretty much any food is cooked or delivered and then have them leave the oven extraction fan on for 15-30 minutes. That usually brings the smell down to mildly unpleasant for about half an hour until I think I must get used to it.

Lol you’re surprised at this? Don’t come to Canada, your eyeballs will fall out of your sockets. I would have sent her money to go buy groceries instead.

Funny, considering someone else from Canada quoted at half the price of OP’s.

It could be the “haven’t been able to eat solid foods myself in over a month”, but this post just reminded me of my favorite order from dominos that’d usually cover me for a couple nights

Cheesy breadsticks and a large thincrust with fixins, and now I’m doing the Homer Simpson drool, yes it was garbage pizza but it was good tasting garbage pizza to a lonely college student!

Almost a year, not over a month. Well, technically that’s over a month, but yeah, it sucks not being able to eat when food is one of the most important things in pretty much every culture (unsurprisingly). You literally cannot escape food. It’s everywhere. Restaurants, supermarkets, billboards, you name it. And when you can’t eat it, it’s just torture. Especially if you really want to eat it, which I do.

I’ve started craving nostalgic foods for myself as a coping mechanism, for me it’s being unable to keep anything down save for like 2 things consistently

Nougat ,

I hope you come out of the other side of that, and I'll bring you a pizza myself.

I hope so too, thanks.
