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.

    My favourite place to buy small kitchen appliances is the thrift store. People love to buy kitchen gadgets but they don’t love to use them, so you can get nearly-new appliances for very little.

      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.

        They may be talking about “second-hand stores”. Those tend to be more expensive than thrift stores and are trying to profit off of the “thrift store” moniker. The main difference is that actual thrift stores tend to accept donations, whereas secondhand stores tend to operate more like antique stores. Another big clue into what type of store you are shopping at is our local thrift stores always have sales depending on the color of the tags. Also, actual thrift stores tend to be involved with the community (voucher programs with the local homeless/DV shelters). My favorite one had coupon days that they sent in the Wednesday circular, but now they are online via “My Square”.
