the wife has just made a loaf of bread from scratch, when you break it down, the (small) cost of ingredients, the time & effort put into it, the cost of the gas/electric, i reckon that this one little loaf has cost in the region of 3 quid ish.

now i know the taste etc is going to be amazing BUT, a tiger loaf from asda is twice the size, taste is brilliant, and it costs (at the moment) 65p

Its the same with my cakes, they cost so much more than store bought, plus prep time, but boy can I pack in the fat and sugar, and they taste scrum-diddly-umptious!

But it won't have all the additives of shop bought bread. My daughter makes sll her own as a lot of shop bought reacts badly with her. She doesn't have any problems with hone baked.

I usually brew ma own beer, 1 barrel each of Bitter, Lager & Cider for Xmas, but due to several relocations and being on ma own this year I haven't bothered.

Still think homemade is best though

I bought a bread maker and although it is expensive at first, it has economy of scales and tastes lovely when you do your own.

Never got on well with a bread maker, but we cook curries etc. from scratch and they're much tastier than a takeaway and blow store bought jars out of the water.

You're right that they take more time and effort, but the reward is so much greater.
