Chose between a stand mixer and a bread machine for my tiny kitchen, and I picked wrong
I live in a 400 square foot apartment in Chicago and had $250 saved up after selling my old bike. My two choices were a used KitchenAid stand mixer off Marketplace or a brand new bread machine from Target. I went with the mixer because everyone online said bread machines make weird square loaves. Turns out I barely bake cakes or cookies, I just wanted fresh bread. The mixer has been sitting on my counter for 7 months and I've used it twice, both times to mash potatoes. My neighbor Dana has a bread machine she got for $40 at a garage sale and she makes a loaf almost daily with like 3 minutes of effort. Meanwhile I'm still buying $6 sourdough from the bakery down the street. Now I'm trying to sell the mixer to buy a bread machine and nobody wants it for more than $120. Should I just admit the bread machine was the right call or is there some magic mixer recipe I'm missing?

Oof, that stings, but hey, at least you learned what you actually want to make.
