Hmmm. I made my bread machine purchase for $20 at a yard sale a few
years ago and have not bought a loaf of bread since. Many pizzas and
loaves of wheat, garlic and chocolate bread later, I haven't regretted
my purchase for a minute. Perhaps you're just not a bread machine type.


Although some folks I know have compared my having a bread machine to a
drug addict having a meth lab in their basement...
