Buying groceries and putting them away is a biggish task. And when you're done, you're tired of looking at food and thinking about all the prep work of cooking food. But most of what you have isn't food yet, it's still ingredients.

You deserve to have that one ready dinner tonight, whether it's pizza or rotisserie chicken or sushi or Greek-salad-inna-box or rat-onna-stick. You know you'll do it anyway, so just plan it in as you shop.

I sometimes will buy the little Red Baron personal pizzas that come in a two pack with the idea being that they will be something quick I can microwave for lunch at work for two days. They never make it through the weekend though lol

Half of my freezer is frozen pizzas. I know how I operate.

I have the opposite.

Two whole fish. About 3kg each. Each of them for when I feel like cooking and make a nice meal.

It has been 2 years.

I'll save this for when I want pizza but also when I want to be disappointed.

making frozen pizza is cooking as far as I’m concerned

Frozen pizza costs the same as most chains, may as well get it fresh. There was a time this wasn't true but now they're all like 8.50+

So true, the other day I'm like oh I'll buy two pizzas they're on sale that way it will last me the next few weeks for the days I don't feel like cooking, day zero I cooked the first pizza, leftovers lasted me until day 3 after which I baked the second pizza

I feel personally attacked

Wtf why do I feel called out

I do it because I'm tired from shopping and don't want to cook.

That’s why I buy 5.

I saw this posted before, and I'll give the same advice.

If you don't have a freezer big enough to hold two weeks worth of food, buy a bigger one. They have models that can fit in any apartment. I like to cook big pots of soup or chili and freeze them in pint size containers. Knowing you've got a few good frozen meals in the house is a nice feeling.

Frozen pizza once a week for two decades, almost no exceptions. It's a tradition I will keep up until the day I die.

Due to allergies and difficulty in following diets (even diets that just avoid my allergens!) I switched to just eating meat and eggs (and wine and coffee and occasionally beer) so shopping is just 15kg of beef and two dozen eggs for a fortnight, and cooking is just lightly cooking ~600g of beef, sometimes with eggs

It's so simple, and quicker than a frozen pizza, tastier too
