This is only for 2015! What about now? Price of bread is ridiculous.
We bought a $99 bread machine a few years ago, as the price of bread at the store climbed. It takes a minute to assemble the ingredients, then you just walk away. 3 hours later, you have bread that puts store bought to shame, and all for less than $1 per 2lb loaf.
We also started using a pasta maker, which is just as easy to use. Fresh pasta for pennies, instead of $3 a pack.
In addition, we started making out own almond milk too… using fresh almonds and water. Compared to unsweetened store bought, we’re saving over $40 a month on almond milk alone.
I’m tired of these companies… all of them… overpricing their products. Make whatever you can; fix whatever you can; reuse and repurpose as much as you can!
You’re lucky to have enough room for that kind of equipment in your home. Unfortunately, that’s not my case.
The extra equipment simply makes it easier, but you don’t really need any of it. Bread, pizza dough, pasta, muffins, cookies, tortillas, and anything else that’s flour-based can be made without anything but a stove or oven.
I guess it depends on your priorities. For me, it was about saving money, even if that meant a small investment in extra kitchen stuff.
Yes, a blender, bread machine, pasta maker, pressure cooker, microwave, and coffee maker all take up space in my kitchen. But for me, it’s totally worth it! They’ve paid for themselves many, many times over!
I’ve got bread my bread setup down to 1 large bowl, a scale a baking tray and the oven for large equipment. You can use more stuff like proofing baskets and a stone for your oven but they are more for making your bread pretty rather than make it taste better.
How do you make your almond milk? There are a few gadgets, but I’ve also seen the cheese cloth method.
Also, good on you! Making stuff from scratch is better, healthier, and cheaper.
I use a blender and then run everything through a French press!
I don’t have experience with an actually nut milk machine, but this method works for us.
Since we’ve always used unsweetened versions of nondairy milk, it’s just water and almonds. Approx. 2tbls of almonds to a little over 1000ml of water.
Thanks! We go through a lot of vegan milk in our house.
We have the privilege of serving Canadians from coast to coast.
I read that as: we are still permitted to be a monopoly, so of course we’re gonna do this again
But how much did they make from it the crime?
Do cake next
So someone is going to prison, right? Right?
These people obviously can NOT be trusted. Appropriate the companies and tell them to shove the 410 mil up their asses
The class-action case was brought against a group of companies that includes Loblaw and the Weston companies, Metro, Walmart Canada, Giant Tiger, and Sobeys and its owner, Empire Co. Ltd
Sorry, WHAT?! Weston also owns Sobeys and Walmart?! BREAKUP THIS MONOPOLY!!
Edit: Can anyone confirm if this is accurate? I couldn’t confirm it.
This is a case of Fun With Commas - Sobeys is owned by a different obscene conglomerate, Empire Company.
Metro, Walmart, Giant Tiger, and Empire are the co-conspirators along with the Weston companies.
You’re misreading that comma. It is listing companies the suit is against. “Loblaw and the Weston companies” is one list item, “Walmart Canada” is another, etc.
Oh thank you both! I am SO glad I misread that 😊. My familiarity with Oxford commas let me down here 😁
