you already have a bread maker and the ingredients, you can make a loaf for around $2.50, which is about the same costs of buying at the store. however homemade bread may not have the shelf life and grow mold faster. make sure to store slices of it in the freezer. finally, make your own almond milk is expensive. although you only need raw almonds, a cup of them is going to make around 14 ounces and set you back $5 or $6, while a half gallon carton at the store costs roughly $3.
