Good Amazon deals going on for those of us who need to bake at home. Most of these should be going on Fri-Monday (you know, the whole Black Friday – Cyber Monday thing).
- KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer – $499 down to $299 plus a $50 rebate = $249. If you’re thinking of getting one, this is a good deal. Just remember to mail in the rebate forms.
- Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker – $129 down to $99. I’m seriously tempted. I’ve seen a bunch of gluten free bread machine bread recipes lately…
- KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White or Black – $349 down to $233 plus a $30 rebate = $203. This is the same model I have in my kitchen, just a different color. Except I got mine at $249 a year ago. This is a very good deal. All of the colors are on sale, but only Black and White are this low. Again, you need to mail in rebate forms. Always mail in your rebate forms.
- Pamela’s Amazing Bread Mix, 25-Pound Bag – $48 on Amazon Warehouse. Down from $55 earlier in the week. Going for $69 on the regular Amazon site. If you’re a Pamela fan, this is a great deal. That’s less than $2 a pound. Rare in gluten free mixes.
I have a cheapie $40 sunbeam breadmaker that I got for my birthday about 4 years ago. It’s great. The crucial part of the breadmaker really isn’t the hardware, it’s the recipes. Depending on the shape of bread I want, I’ll just use the breadmaker to do the mixing and resting/rising and then shape the loaf and bake it in my big oven. I think that for a basic loaf of bread, I’m looking at between $0.40 to $1 per 2 lb. loaf.
Not bad. Sunbeam, you say? I’ll have to look into it…
