Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Never noticed before! Or forgot and noticed again all fresh and new. Life is exciting like that.

Is that a goose/other bird ready to stand and bang through the right hand window??

It definitely isn't cheaper to buy a loaf! The real cost with bread machines is the cost of the machine itself, and you got it for free, so you're very much quids in.

Bread mix can be slightly pricier than just buying strong bread flour and yeast, then adding your own oil / butter / salt / honey / so on. There's pence in it all really.

More than anything, there's the satisfaction of making your own bread, and the taste. You can tailor your loaf to exactly what you want in it, and get extremely fat in the process :D
 
I love my breadmaker, i'd say it works out about half the price of an equivalent loaf from a bakery. What i like about it is that it makes a smaller loaf as a full size shop bought one lasts ages, too long for me to finish before it goes stale.

(it's meant to have Pepperoni and Sun Dried Tomatoes in it but i put it in too early and the paddle sort of minced them!)

Mines a little pale compared to yours, maybe an hour wasn't ideal

Raymond's isn't straight ciabatta - if it was, I'd be eating yours any day over his! Yours is a fine colour for that, though possibly yes a little light. But if it tasted good, then who cares.

Edit: As Raymond said, he's added extras. Does look rather lush.
 
Damn you all, i always look at bread makers and then get scope creep and end up discounting the cheaper ones and looking at expensive ones and then questioning whether i want to spend £300 on one and ultimately give up my search.

I'm finding though that these days you can easily spend £3 on a loaf in Waitrose if you want something specific.

I got a Panasonic one in Prime Day, this one.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0055HSEOC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It has a nuts and seeds dispenser and yeast dispenser so it knows itself when to add those.

The manual comes with a lot of recipes and often i just tweak them. So when it says 3 Cheese Bread, I add in my own kind of cheese, throw in some Pepperoni and now i have cheese and pepperoni bread! It's great when it's toasted later on, the cheese within it melts a little.

Also made Honey and Walnut bread, spring onion and frankfurters. I've had it for a month now and still not made a straight plain white loaf.

That's not bad actually, out of interest how much was it on Prime day?

only like £10 less lol

Current price is actually really low, i looked at camel and its normally £160.

Here you go, for the past 18months, since the pandemic has hit (understandably) the price of it has stayed mostly north of £160.
