Loss leader, they do the same shit with a fair amount of their deli products. Hot Dogs are #1, since you're going to go buy buns that cost them 10c most along with toppings.

You buy this pizza, you're likely to pick up a soda or drink along with it, probably some dipping sauces too or foil for the oven. They make their money back and move more inventory simply because it

People who shop at walmart, can't tell you how many boomers do this shit of putting foil over their shitty 2 dollar pan when they could just learn to clean it or buy a brand new one.

The cardboard-esque crust holds everything on top no problemo.

>> No.15473699

>>15473685
This happens when you don't pre-heat the oven and let the pizza "thaw" to cook it faster. My room mates use to do it because they figured they could save money if they didn't preheat the oven for a whole 5 minutes.

My best guess is someone WAY overloaded it with extra cheese and other toppings on a frozen pizza that already had a broken crust.
Closest that I ever came to a disaster like this was falling asleep with a Homerun stuffed pizza in the oven...I awoke to a charcoal disk.
I rerely make frozen pizza, as pizza dough is stupid easy to make, and I've always been good at planning ahead a few hours before I eat.
in a real pinch, it's a french bread pizza, or a pre-fab crust.

hahaha. A neighbor in my old apartment unit did this. Got drunk, made a pizza, fell asleep. Alarms going, loud as shit, firefighters broke down his door and he was passed out on the couch.

Yeah they probably did what my room mates would do by getting the cheap shit pizza, then loading on extra toppings they got for cheap like way more. The issue comes up where people leave the pizza out, the dough gets too soft and wet from other shit on it, droops, and then it's up to where ever the hole forms. This is easily solved by not doing that dumb shit or just using a pan

yeah, I guess I was pretty lucky. The fire dept. was less than 200 meters from my rental at the time, and they never showed.
The most dangerous and worst kitchen accident I ever had was there too. one of those old deep-fry/candy thermometers overheated while I was making french fries from scratch. popped the top of the glass rod and spewed the mercury all over the place. I evacuated into the winter air for the next 3 hours.
seems kinda tame now, when you realize just how many of those fluorescent and helical fluorescent bulbs have busted in ALL the houses across Burgerland.

Former Walmart corporate employee here. On average, Walmart makes $.04 profit for every dollar they take in. Walmart really is obsessed with offering the lowest price on food. They put a ton of pressure on vendors.

I remember a pricing war they had with Pepsi Frito-Lay's. They wanted to raise the price. Walmart said no. They insisted, so Walmart pulled their products off the shelves. In a matter of hours, Pepsi caved in to Walmart's demands and kept the price the same.

I've always wondered where these things are made. Its certainly not made inside the Aldi or Walmart. So where does it come from? Its arriving on a truck next to the other warehoused refrigerated shit. With a shelf life of only days, its got to be manufactured at least semi-locally.
Makes me think its contracted out to who-the-fuck-ever, and the quality will vary wildly. But yet they appear to be consistent as any other mass produced frozen pie.

The crust and sauce add up to maybe $0.60.
S1.25 for cheese, $1.25 for meat, $0.30 for the box.

There is plenty of room between the materials cost and the sale price.

These are almost certainly a daily backhaul.
Which means:
Truck goes from walmart cold storage warehouse ("DC" in the lingo) to a few walmart stores, making deliveries
Now empty
Stops at contracted pizza factory, drops off empty trailer
Picks up the trailer someone dropped off yesterday, now filled with delightful Marketside pizzas
Goes back to walmart warehouse
Trailer is unloaded, and some of each kind of pizza is sent out on next day's trucks to the stores
