I live in New York state. I can get a $3.00 bag of flour that will net me about 20 cups of flour. I buy individual onions, and an individual onion might cost close to $1. Mozzarella cheese is close to $4 a brick (16 ounces) and I used half for my recipe. A bulb of garlic cost $1, usually 8 good sized cloves in one bulb. (If I can shop at my local Asian market instead of the normal grocery store, I can get like 3 bulbs of garlic for $1.) 8 ounce can of tomato paste for $1. Store brand yeast cost $1 and come as a 3 pack. Spices cost quite a bit when you purchase a brand new bottle, but you can make many meals with your bottle of spice. Not sure if I under or over estimated on the spices.
I purchase large quantities of store brand ingredients where ever possible, and the supplies I buy will make more than 1 pizza. I attempted to break down the cost per pizza, based on the quantity of ingredients I use in my recipe.
where do you live? where i live all that is easily double or triple the price.
if i want to make pizza i’m spending $20-30 on basic ingredients that might get me 2-3 12" pizzas.

in a rural area in western NY? I’d believe you.
In NYC a bag of flour is like 6-10 dollars. I just bought flour two weeks ago and it was 7 bucks for the cheap crap. A thing of oatmeal, is $5.
Albany, NY, in the city, not the surrounding suburbs or a more rural area.
albany is the boonies yo.
