I haven't bought bread since November 2003, when I started making my own every week. Yesterday for my family's Easter dinner, I brought a loaf of white, a loaf of light rye, and a loaf of sourdough 7-grain bread (homemade sourdough starter). For a good bread flour, it costs about $3.50 for 5 pounds in here Chicago, which will make about 6 loaves, so we are at ~58 cents a loaf for flour (there are much cheaper flours available as well). Add a little yeast, salt, & water to make a basic bread, 45 minutes of running the oven, and you get a beautiful loaf of bread for well under a dollar.
