Cheap bread flour- where?

mummyvb

Does anyone know where I can get cheap flour for bread making? At £1 for 1.5kg in Tesco it is no cheaper than buying bread from the supermarket. Whilst homemade bread obviously tastes better I need to save money too!

I make mine with bread flour, dried yeast, little bit of sugar and salt, water. Do you have to add anything extra if you make with normal plain flour?

Well it is as 1.5kg will make 3 decent sized loaves and decent bread is well over £1 per loaf.

TESCO STRONG WHITE BREAD FLOUR 1.5KG is £1.24 but ASDA comparison is 68p.

If you buy from Tesco then type in your details from your receipt here: Tesco Price Check

You will get an online voucher within 36 hours for Double the Difference for £1.12 which means that your net cost will be 12p!! :beer:

I also use the plain flour for bread many times. Currently about 52p for 1.5kg.

I have tried some of the more expensive flours, without much success. Have changed to Lidl bread flour and have great success with it every time. It has just gone up from 60p for 1.5kgs to 69p, but still an excellent buy.
