does anyone actually freeze bread?

I know. I was just referring to his power hog comment.

I suppose a huge double door fridge could use a decent amount of power, or maybe my electricity usage habits are skewed, but a device using 85kWh/mo is insignificant to me.

I am just in shock that you are paying 9.5 cents per kwh, it just went to 15.9 here.

Wow, you guys are getting reamed for power.

QFT.

I bake my own bread, (heh, I have 2 bread machines, and do it from scratch-the mixes are too expensive) and freeze ahead.

I figure it costs 50 cents a loaf versus $2/loaf for the good whole wheat stuff at the store.

PSA, home made pizza with pizza dough from scratch with a bread machine kicks ass.

Ouch.

That's in Oregon. Power is cheap there due to the proximity of hydroelectric plants. It's actually cheaper than that, the 9.5 cents I quoted is after taxes and fees

I am not sure what it is here in New Mexico. Let me check.

Looks like it's fairly cheap here, too..

545kWh, total bill is $57.69.. so 10.56 cents/kWh.

I always freeze bread because I buy it at Costco. I keep the loaf I'm eating the fridge to slow down mold. It doesn't taste as good as non-frozen, but it is damn close.

Nothing wrong with freezing bread. I've done it myself and taken it out every once and a while (one or two times a week maybe) to make some garlic bread.
