But as a simple example, a 2lb loaf of bread generally uses about 4 cups of flour. You can buy a 5lb bag (20 cups) of bread flour for $4. For a basic white bread the only other things you are likely adding is a small amount of sugar, salt, butter/oil, milk, and yeast. The cost for those other ingredients is going to be a few pennies at most since you use so little of them. So at 80 cents of flour and a few pennies of everything else you are looking at about $1 per loaf. And that's assuming you aren't buying any ingredients in bulk, which you should because it could cut costs by more than half.
So if you go through a loaf of bread per week at $3/loaf at the supermarket that is $156/year on bread. Making it at home with a machine, not accounting for buying ingredients on sale or in bulk and assuming $1/loaf you are at $52/year. So a savings year over year of $104 if you buy this machine, giving you a 1 year ROI.
Again though this is overly simplistic, because a homemade loaf like this doesn't really cost $3. It is more akin to a loaf you'd buy at a local bakery. Those usually run $5-10 depending on what they are and where you are. So in that case your ROI is quite a bit faster.
It's definitely not free to keep adding things onto your weekly trip. Your bags keep getting larger and heavier and the trips keep taking longer.
It's one thing to buy half a year's supply of flour every six months (or have it delivered). It's quite another to buy fresh bread every single week.
I understand the people who live in a nice European town and they find it a pleasure to drop by the market every day for fresh ingredients to prepare that same day. If they enjoy that lifestyle, that sounds wonderful and I would love to live in such a society (of course, when your movement is restricted by state regulations that throws a bit of a wrench in that lifestyle, but I digress).
Unfortunately I live in an American car-dependent hell-scape where the market centers are vivisected by polluted, dangerous "stroads" (multiple-lane roads that serve both as high-traffic commuter traffic arterials and road-side commercial shopping property), that you can only travel on safely in a steel roll-cage-protected metal box called a car. Visiting the supermarket involves driving on a congested highway, and then waiting for tens of minutes in a checkout line surrounded by other deeply stressed-out and angry, distrustful people (quick aside: in Europe they introduced walk-in-walk-out and scan with phone years ago, but abandoned that tech in US because of "shrinkage", i.e. shoplifters).
The fewer trips I have to make to the market, the better. And the fewer things I have to buy when I'm there, the more pleasant the experience is, and the more likely I can do that shopping at some other smaller, more pleasant market.
At this point, by buying staples and learning to cook my own quickly and efficiently instead of buying it prepared, I've eliminated having to take weekly trips to the grocery. I buy a few fresh ingredients once in a while only from the smaller markets I enjoy visiting, and make the rest from staples in my pantry that I only have to occasionally replenish, and which I can usually get delivered cheaply.
I'm not saying everyone needs to live exactly like me, but if you are finding that you don't have enough time in the week and you're stressed out and not living the life you'd like to, I would highly recommend seeing if you can reclaim time that you use visiting the grocery every week. Visits to a supermarket can be some of the most tedious, time-wasting, cortisol-increasing hours of your life, and they can be almost entirely eliminated by eliminating prepared foods like baked bread from your shopping.
Of course, hundreds of millions of others DO live in communities like mine, but I still went to extraordinary lengths to make it clear I am well aware that NOT ALL people do, precisely in case some dimwitted person might read my sharing of MY OWN EXPERIENCE and ridiculously claim I am "generalizing" my experience to "all Americans'.

I think the benefit of these is that the bread tastes good and you can control what it's made with. But there's no way it's easier (it's a lot more work) and probably not cheaper, either.
Of course it has a lot of other benefits, but it's a lot less work than doing shopping every week and it is much cheaper.
Again, maybe not if you live some sort of idyllic provincial village lifestyle where you buy fresh bread from the friendly neighborhood baker on your idyllic stroll through the neighborhood. But in my typical American lifestyle with an unpleasant supermarket that you have to drive on highways to, it's without a question less work and far more pleasant to make it myself.
I have dramatically improved my life and and financial well-being since ditching my weekly trips to the supermarket, and the amount of time I spend at home preparing food has not increased at all over using the prepared food, let alone started to cut into the enormous amount of time I've reclaimed from those shopping trips. Not to mention that any time spent preparing at home is spent at home in comfort rather than out in an unpleasant supermarket or on the roads driving back and forth from that market.
You don't have to accept the gospel I'm preaching, but I've actually made the change in my life and I can guarantee you are a thousand percent wrong in your imagination of the differences.
Come on man.
Great emoji-based arguments, you are incredibly thoughtful.

And you're being a little dramatic about the grocery store. I can only speak for myself, but the grocery stores by me are very close (I walk to one sometimes), generally huge, not super crowded, and are not stressful.

Is this a good prep item for the coming depression?

I use bread flour, whole wheat flour, olive oil, milk, water, salt & yeast. A 2lb loaf cost me $1.65 ≈ $0.05/ounce vs $0.20/ounce for fresh bread at a place like Whole Foods. I make a loaf each week, so break even happens pretty fast.
Driving to my grocery store takes 20 minutes round trip, plus 5 minutes in the store. I use 0.3 gallons of gas @ $4.25/gallon so another ≈ $1.25 is added to the cost if I go for just the loaf of bread.

Used mostly for pizza. Then I quit carbs... lol. I made the best pizza.
Pretty good machine.

Given that time is money, and unless you really enjoy making bread, there are more enjoyable things you can do with your time, many people are not going to care about the pennies saved by making bread vs. buying.
I also don't understand the arguments that are being repeated about wasting time, money, and gas driving to the store to buy bread. Virtually no one goes to the store just to buy bread. People go to the store to do general shopping and simply pick up bread while they're there. So the driving time, gas, etc. spent commuting to the store are completely inconsequential, because you're going whether you need bread or don't.

Also it says "BPA free"
Bit I am sure it has toxic nonstop coating on the bread pan because they ALL do
I only found one that has a stainless steel bread pan but it is European ,requires importing and a travel outlet adapter to plug it in (threw out aly non stick years ago)
Waste of money 99% of people who but these things end up using them once and never again because the bread is terrible and dense
Go to any thrift store ,savers or salvation army. And you will about 50 of them there for about $10
