No idea about breadmaker costs as I bought mine at a car boot sale unused for £8
The mix is just flour (about 3 cups), water (1cup), yeast (satchet but I tend to use Allisons dried active small tims), sugar (about a tablespoon), tablespoon of veg oil and salt (a teaspoon)
The flour if you go for the shop brand is about 60p for Strong White or about £1 for brown or wholemeal (each bag will do 2-3 large loaves).. I tend to do a mix (1 cup white to two brown)
Most shops also sell ready made kilo packs of sunflower/rye/wholemeal bread where you just add the water (lidl and aldi have them)
You can also add olive oil and some sundried tomatos if you want an italian style bread..
I also use it for making Doughnut or Pizza doughs (the breadmaker has a mix/rise setting that does not cook)
