Made my 50th loaf of bread today in the bread machine. Store-bought bread averages about $2.50 a loaf, so 50 loaves would be $125. Bread machine cost $100 and I figure the flour and other ingredients for those was well under $25.

Here's to 50 more loaves of fresh baked bread.

I got my bread machine at the thrift store brand new for less than $20. I broke even a while back.

    Nice. I haven't had much luck thrifting the last few years.

    Thrift stores have massively increased their prices in the last few years, but you can still find good deals here and there. I avoid going to goodwill and go to the habitat store and two of the local thrifts that actually benefit the community. I recommend looking at local estate auctions on hi-bid and going to garage sales. You might also check fb marketplace/ Craigslist / whatever is popular in your locality.
