I finally stopped buying expensive bread and started making my own

For years I spent around $5 a loaf on that fancy sourdough from the bakery section. My budget was getting hammered, like $30 a month just on bread. Last month I bought a $3 bag of flour and a packet of yeast, total cost like $4. Now I make two loaves a week for pennies and they taste way better fresh out of the oven. The trick for me was just starting simple with a basic white bread recipe from a blog I found. Anyone else switch to homemade and see a big drop in their grocery bill?

Was you for years, now I completely changed my mind.

Hear you out @the_angela, but I still keep coming back to it even after trying other things. The quality is just consistent in a way that most other brands drop the ball on after a few months. Had a few duds, sure, but it never felt like they stopped caring about making it right.
