Looking for some easy bread recipes that will save you a ton of money? Look no further – this post has 5 recipes that are sure to hit the spot!
We all know that homemade bread tastes better than any that you can buy in the store. But, did you know that making your own bread recipes will save you a ton of money, too?
The cost of 1 loaf of store-bought bread can run anywhere from $1.50 for the ultra-cheap stuff to $5.00 or even $6.00 for a higher end brand, while an average loaf of basic homemade bread costs somewhere around $0.40 a loaf!
It’s crazy, right?!
Consider this…
Let’s go with $3.00 a loaf for an average price of store-bought bread and we’ll stick with the $0.40 for the homemade version.
If your family goes through the average 2 loaves a week, that is 104 loaves of bread you’re using in a year.
Do the math, my friend!
The cost of buying bread at the store
$3.00 x 104 = $312.00
The cost of making your own bread
$0.40 x 104 = $41.60
That’s a savings of $270.40 a year!
Can you imagine how much you’d save if you started making your own hamburger buns, hot dog rolls, dinner rolls, tortillas, etc.?
Start making your own homemade bread!
Okay, I get it – you’re busy. Life is busy and you think you don’t have time to make homemade bread, but I promise, you do.
Stop picturing your great-grandmother slaving away in the kitchen at 3:00 am trying to make bread for breakfast.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
There are tons of recipes out there to make homemade bread and many of them require less than an hour of actual hands-on time, so there is no need to spend all day in the kitchen.
And there is no fancy equipment required!
Sure, it’s nice to have a KitchenAid Commercial Stand Mixer, but all you really need is a big mixing bowl, your hands and a good quality bread pan (and sometimes, you don’t even need that!).
