Deals from Hubby: Cheap Bread Machine

My husband is just as good at spotting a deal as me. He often sends emails to me throughout the day about things he has found on sale. This is the message I received yesterday:

"I know you prefer growing your own grain, harvesting it with an ox, and baking your bread in an adobe oven in the hot summer sun, but this could work as a backup on rainy days."

$35.99 for a bread machine- pretty sweet deal! It looks like free shipping on this item too.

You could buy this... or you could just do what I am doing, which my husband enjoys making fun of while stuffing his face with homemade bread!

If you are at a loss as to what the heck to do with that old bread machine, make sure to check out my post on the ins and outs of making bread in the machine!

"That is hilarious. My hubby once said " I may live like the pilgrims, but I am not wearing those wool pants and suspenders..." I did break down and get a breadmaker as I was set on doing it from scratch...glad I did, I love it and just the dough cycle cuts down on the time and mess."

"Amy I bought this same bread machine for my daughter and sil. They love it. It saves them so much money on bread with 6 kids and 2 adults they go through bread like crazy. She said now all she needs is a cow for milk since they go through 5 gallons a week, and the kids refuse to drink the powdered milk."

"Ha! Funny hubby! Tempting deal, but I'm still going to do it by hand. No place to put it, and does it really get you to make more bread? If it does, really, I might consider one..."

"Amy, I have this breadmaker too! It's been great so far! I like the dough cycle and then baking it the old-fashioned way."

"I thought of you this week as I was reading our local paper. Saturday is "City Wide Garage Sale Day" in our town. I noticed several of the ads had a bread machine listed.

I loved your husband's email!"

"Your dh's email was too funny! I wish I would've seen your post earlier, though. I ordered that exact machine today from Amazon (with free shipping) and it was over $44.00! Darn it!"

"I thought this breadmaker was a great deal too, EXCEPT...

that the recipes didn't work in it. It has too long of a rise cycle. Wheat bread definitely will not turn out. Plus, the first time I used it, it had some smoke going on.

It's manufacturing is pretty chinzy too. It looks like it may last only a year. I just didn't like it and returned it!

Also, the loaf shape is an very odd one, different than the "normal" bread machine shaped loaves.

Good luck! Thanks for all your wonderful posts! Love the cute blanket you knitted."

"I have had this bread machine for close to 2 yrs and love it. I will buy another one if ever needed. I have recommended it to many friends and they love it just as much as I do. Enjoy your new bread machine."

"We love our bread machine! It makes it so easy to make homemade bread. (That said it got moved to the basmenet a few months ago and it's still there.) Our machine is old though, so maybe I'll check this out.

I think our husbands would get along well. :-)"
