In the summer I don't break even (partly because of the water needed), but the winter makes up for it. In the winter my spinach and Lettuce production pays for the whole garden (organic fresh spinach $5.99 a lb - and I go through one a week just on that - not to mention organic lettuce which I eat about the same in a weeks time).
Overall - I'd say I break even (even if I was buying crappy stuff from Walmart). Plus there is the pride and pleasure of tending to it all.
