The cost of the breadmaker is $89. The cost of the bread-making supplies is $0.93 per week. The cost of the bread from the bakery is $2.00 per week. The breadmaker will start saving Jarod money when the cost of the breadmaker plus the cost of the bread-making supplies is less than the cost of the bread from the bakery.
