Lots of food is criminally overpriced right now.

It's also that in the past not every member of the household worked. You can save money by baking your own bread but it takes time people don't always have.

Weren’t bread machines all the rage because you just dump in the ingredients and it’s autopilot from there? I see a lot of them at 2nd markets and in dumpsters, so I wonder if their usefulness was overestimated.

Maybe? I dislike them because a mixer and an oven do much better and are easier to clean. I don't even know if they can make bread with a starter.
