Bought it to save on sandwich bread, was 53 from best buy, originally 150 their site said. Now I just make bread every day. Then I started putting Vegemite on it and am addicted to that. Also Vegemite plus avocado toast is insanely good and cheap for the calories. Also good nutritional value.

I can speed make it in the morning with good preparation hacks. I use mason jars with all the dry ingredients ready to go in a drawer, and I use a digital scale to make adding flour fast and accurate.

Do thrift stores still have good deals. I heard you could buy a bread maker there for like 8 bucks. But that was years ago. From what I heard they are all almost as expensive as Walmart or just out of stock for things like kitchen gadgets.

Also check other thrift stores. Our smaller one supports a non-profit, we're all volunteers so expenses are low. We get lots of donations so we have to keep our prices low to move items out the door.

Pro Tip: volunteer at a thrift store to get first dibs on incoming items. It's a great perk.

I guess it depends where you live. Mine are still good in my part of Canada.
