If you’re looking for a sure sign the U.S. economy is headed for a recession, all you need to do is look at the skyrocketing price of “recession-proof” foods: pizza, hot dogs, bagels and beer.
For many Americans, the credit crunch and the mortgage mess have left their pocketbooks – and their cupboards – bare. These same consumers, many living paycheck to paycheck, have relied on these cheaper foods to keep their expenditures down. Not anymore.

These price hikes are all related to the price of gas, because everything needs to be trucked. Also, farmers aren't using scythes anymore and tractors are gas hogs.
Just get a ball of pizza dough at the deli, usually $1.00, let it rise for a few hours, punch it down, flip it up ^^^ grab a hold of that sucker and stretch it (you can do it) I use a greased baking pan, square, pop the dough there and throw any sauce i have available, onions, peppers, some meat if you want, lots of cheese and bake it. It comes out delicious and the cost is about $2.00.
