Oh my word yes! Homemade bread is a fraction of the cost. And let's face it way better for you as well. Unless you are buying artisan bread from a bakery (which is going to cost you) bread from the grocery store has a ton of preservatives and weird ingredients that frankly I'm cool with not having in my life. And honestly, even though making your own might take a little more work on your part. Most of the time it's hands off time while you let the bread do its thing and rise and such.
