$20 bread maker I found at at a thrift store. There's no telling how many hundreds of loaves of healthy, fresh baked wheat bread I've churned out of that thing over the past two years, especially now that we're grinding our own wheat too.

I got a bread maker for free. I asked my coworkers and THREE different people said they had a bread maker that's just sitting there, unused as gifts that they don't want.

I'm one of those who gave my bread maker away. The problem was when I was making bread with it, it was so good I'd quickly eat it all up and kept gaining weight, so I stopped using it.
