Cost savings - are there any, or is just nice to have homemade bread?
[/QUOTE]

I found the it was costing us half the price to make it coz when we buy bread DF has to have a certain brand which is $3.50 - $4 a loaf. I only make a small loaf when I make it that way it doesnt go mouldy if we dont eat it in a few days.
Homemade bread is so much nicer especially when its still warm

The only issue I have had is that the bread maker makes odd shaped loaves (almost square) & the bread is too big for the toaster & I dont like toast under the grill. So until I can solve that problem I keep a commercial loaf in the freezer for when I want toast.
