Is there a point where you'd say, "enough is enough. I'm making my own bread." How much for a loaf is too much?

I was paying $4.59 for premium bread then it dawned on me it was ridiculous and started paying $2.59 for another brand. Now that brand is going up (drastically, I’ve heard) and I’ve just about had it. I could either make it from scratch or buy cheap white bread. How much is too much for you to pay and would you resort to making your own? I have a bread machine but I guess the mix will skyrocket in price too. Any thoughts on your dealing with the crazy price of bread that is just going to get worse?
