Time Management Expert Offers Tips on Making Mealtime Efficient and Affordable

DALLAS, Sept. 29 // PRNewswire // -- The economics of a trip to the grocery store have become increasingly burdensome for many Americans. In addition to the eye-popping prices on your receipt, there's also the time involved: planning your list, traveling to and from the grocery store and doing the shopping. As the old saying goes, time is money, and Americans these days can't afford to waste either. With hectic schedules and hefty bills, finding a sensible mealtime solution is a welcome relief. Tuscani Pastas from Pizza Hut is the ideal solution during these tough times. When you want a delicious dinner and an occasion to gather at the dinner table but don't want to deal with the time or cost of putting together dinner, Tuscani Pastas are just a call away.

Time management expert Molly Gold, a consultant for Pizza Hut, researched the time and cost involved in preparing a traditional pasta dinner and compared it to the cost and convenience of ordering Tuscani Pastas from Pizza Hut. Her findings showed Tuscani Pastas are a time and cost saver compared to preparing a pasta dinner on your own.

"When you've got a busy lifestyle, every minute counts," said Gold. "Ordering Tuscani Pastas from Pizza Hut give you a welcome night-off from the pressure of putting together dinner. There's no question you'll be able to find plenty to do with the time and money you save."

A breakout of the time and money spent on Molly's efforts to purchase and prepare the pasta dish comparable to the Creamy Chicken Alfredo variety of Tuscani Pastas illustrates the time and cost savings: ordering Tuscani Pastas instead of making a trip to the grocery store and cooking a pasta dish at home can save almost two hours and more than $3.

And when the best-laid plans go wrong, Tuscani Pastas are ready to save the day. Since their introduction in April, the two varieties of Tuscani Pastas -- Meaty Marinara and Creamy Chicken Alfredo -- have been an immediate success story, as hungry Americans have embraced the first delivery pasta offered by a national pizza chain. The newest variety, Premium Bacon Mac 'N Cheese, is a contemporary take on a pasta classic. Rotini pasta is smothered in a cheddar cheese sauce, topped with cheese and bacon, and oven-baked, giving the newest Tuscani Pastas flavor a taste that the whole family will love. No advance preparation is needed. Just place an order to have more than three pounds of delicious, hot-out-of-the-oven pasta delivered right to your door, along with five freshly-baked breadsticks.(2) Feeding a family of four for just $12.99, Tuscani Pastas are a great way for your quartet to enjoy dinner for just a few dollars each.

And no national pizza chain has more ordering options than Pizza Hut. You can simply pick up the phone or place an order via pizzahut.com, or, for folks on-the-go, Total Mobile Access from Pizza Hut gives you the ability to place your order via mobile Web or text message. You can also download a desktop application that allows you to order your favorites with just a few clicks of your mouse.
