It's not really so much about cost efficiency, but more to do with that I always have tons of dried chickpeas, rice etc (which I can pick up pretty easily nearby) and I could just make up the flour when I need it.
Due to having a - still undiagnosed (possibly crohn's disease, as it hasn't been ruled out) - bowel disorder, I have trouble in getting to the major supermarkets where I'd have to buy the ready made flours, so it would be much simpler for me to just make my own from ingredients I can pick up within 5 minutes of home, traveling too far can be "problematic".
I could order online I guess, but it's also extremely difficult for me to get into town to put funds in the bank, I'm pretty much housebound most of the time, and usually if I do go out I'm within a 5 minute walk home. IBD/IBS can be extremely debilitating - you could say it's a pain in the arse! Ahem.
@Blueberries - thanks for the link, I'm gonna check out the site.
I do actually have an ebook called Triumph Of The Lentil, which I presume may be by the same person who runs the site.

Actually, having looked at the site it IS the same author.
