Bread.
I've been making bread using a Breadman Pro breadmaker and mixes for quite some time. The results are good, but other than the nice smell in the home, it really isn't any more economical than buying a nice fresh loaf from the grocery store. Our local grocery store has an excellent bakery--the french bread is really wonderful.
Today I took the plunge. We bought a huge bag of bread flour and yeast and I made my first "from scratch" loaf today. Because of the convenience of a breadmaker, it took all of 10 minutes out of my day putting the ingredients together.
And the success of my first experiment? You be the judge! At pennies a loaf, this really is economical.
