Can anyone recommend a good but inexpensive mill grinder that will
grind course?

The ones I've looked at online start at $250. I'm not sure if this is
something I will continue to use so I don't want to invest that much in
it and I still need to get a bread mixing machine as well.

Thanks

I tried to save money by getting a hand-cranked unit at a quarter
that price, but very soon went out and bought a motor! Why not
start by patronizing a health food store that will grind fresh
for you until you are sure? Several will where I live. Now that
my children are grown up and on their own, I admit I've switched
to commercial flour (see http://sankey.ws/bread.html).

I just bought a Lee Household Flour Mill off of eBay for ~$150.  It's
great... loud, but great.  It can do really fine or VERY coarse...
practically cracked grain.  I used its coarsest setting once to make
corn meal.  It was more corn pebbles than corn meal.  I ran it through
again at a finer setting and it still ended up making gritty cornbread.

The benefit of grinding your own flour is that you KNOW the fats in the
grain aren't rancid.  Most whole wheat flour you buy in the store will
have been sitting long enough that the fats have oxidized.

As for a bread machine, I also just bought a Panasonic model YD250 on
eBay for ~$65.00  Talk about easy!  It's really quiet and makes bread
making fun.  Easy to clean, too.

Good luck.

Does that model also bake the bread? I imagine it taste so much better
than bought bread, yes?
I'll look at Ebay!

Yup.  It does it all.  You just toss all the ingredients in the pan and
then put the yeast in a little door on top of the machine.  When it's
time for the yeast, the bread machine drops it in the mix automatically.  
I've really enjoyed it.  It comes with a recipe book.  I've tried
several from the book, but so far my favorite is the whole wheat yogurt
bread.  It's kind of a sour dough but without the wait. :)

Good luck.
