My family loves pizza. I’m convinced the kids would eat it every night if I’d let them. Leaving aside how unhealthy that is, it is also expensive. Enter Dollar Tree.

With the Dollar Tree we can get the ingredients for 2 large thin-crust pepperoni pizzas for less that five dollars. That feeds all 5 of us easily and when your grocery budget is only $200 a month, that’s important.

Alright, let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients

2 Large Thin Pizza Crusts
24 oz. Can Hunt’s Pasta Sauce
Package of Italian Blend Shredded Cheese
1.75 oz. Package of Hormel Pepperoni

Step 1

First, preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Next, open one of your thin pizza crusts and place it on a round pizza pan.

Step 8

Remove your pizza from the oven and cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting and serving.

Step 9

Repeat steps 1 through 8 for your second pizza.

These are seriously easy to make and the family loves it. I like to serve them with a salad to add some veggies but they are delicious on their own as well. You can store your crusts in the freezer until you are ready to make them making it easy to stock up for multiple dinners.
