Pizza but no campfire

 We had the pizza but not the campfire last night.
Our plan was to go to our nephew’s baseball game then come home for a fire and camp pie maker pizzas. Our nephew’s game was to be in the early evening and so we figured we had plenty of time.
Well, when we got to the field we found out the game had been moved back over an hour later.
I had packed snacks and water bottles for the family but I knew we were going to need supper. What to do, what to do?
$5 pizza to the rescue. The local chain pizza parlor sells pick-up-and-go large pizzas for $5 and we had a card that entitled us to free breadsticks. Mr. Steady keeps an “extra” five dollars tucked away in a crevice in his wallet and I had the change for tax. We keep a roll of paper towels in the trunk of the car (stand-in plates). I also keep an extra pair of scissors in the car- which I used to cut each piece of pizza in half.
So it was an impromptu pizza picnic on the sidelines for supper last night. The kids all thought it was incredibly fun.
Cheap fun—all the better.
A ball game and a pizza picnic- $5.30.

Sounds great to me!!! I love how successful you were even while out on saving money for this meal.

God's Blessings,
