I have, too; it helped that someone was giving me pointers, because I had no clue about salt fucking with yeast, or making sure your wet ingredients were warm, etc. Inexperienced bakers would, I think, have only a 50/50 chance of getting it really right the first time (and if you get it wrong, you've wasted so much time and money!).

The last couple time I tried to make bread, I got no rise at all, despite doing everything 'right' - I dunno if I had crappy yeast or what.

Look for a bread machine on FB marketplace or a freecycle group. People are always giving them away or selling them for cheap. They do work pretty well, but yeah, it's cheapest just to make french bread.

Homemade bread comes out really nice and stays fresh longer, IMO.

I have had a bread machine, and i really liked it. But at this stage, I don't eat much bread at all, so I just buy these nice half-loaves from the grocery. They have a nice variety and it's enough for what I want without it going bad when I don't eat it. I get two or three on sale and sling 'em into my freezer. Same with butter - if it's on sale (and it's usually really a good bargain), i get the most i can afford and freeze the extra.
