Stop buying those fancy bread mixes, just do this one thing instead

I got so tired of spending $5 on a box of bread mix that barely made a loaf. Last week I tried a tip from my grandma where you just take all-purpose flour, add a spoonful of vital wheat gluten from the bulk bin at the grocery store, and bam it acts like bread flour. I was skeptical cause the gluten cost me like $1.50 for enough to last months. First loaf came out fluffy and cheap as heck. Now I make sandwich bread for under 50 cents a loaf. Has anyone else tried this or got another trick to make cheap flour behave better?

My buddy tried this and now swears his family can't tell the difference.

Starts making you wonder how much stuff we all just kind of fake our way through, honestly.
