Eating a 10 inch Domino's 'Hawaiian  pizza' ... on special, Sundays ... for $3.95.

I reckon that's a good deal, so  ... although I would not normally get THAT style of pizza (like LOTS more other stuff) ... and it's basically just ham, cheese, and pineapple .. but for THAT price. ... I like a bargain !

I agree with you there. Most other nights, and I've gotten VERY lazy about cooking at home ... I generally spend around $8 ... occasionally $15 on dinner  .... either take away, or eat in a pub. This compensates, for the more expensive nights !

A few months back .... the Aussie $ was nearing parity with the US .... but dropped like a stone, shortly near that point.  If you were here .. with US $ ... it's probably more like $ 3 ?

Do they do coupons / special deals at US pizza places  ... could you get anything like this deal ?

yes, coupons and emails for Domino's pizza but your deal was still cheaper. I guess I won't be trading currency with you at this time  ;D  as for good deals, just today, my grocery store had an after Thanksgiving sale on fresh turkeys and I got an 18pound bird for $5 dolllars, unbelievable  :o  that is a lot of meat for 5 bucks

I guess you could always fly over for the deal ... but that would add up to a MEGA expensive pizza ?

i fixed it.  but i'm still freaked out.

Apart from listening to Eric Burdon's 'Don't let me be misunderstood' ?    ???


Experimenting with what I believe is referred to as 'deep thinking'. Pondering how sometimes deep thinkers seem to get misunderstood 'all the time' .... when you'd think, with a little 'deep thinking' .... they'd be able to 'deep think' a solution, to prevent that happening, in the future ?
