10 Ways Your Thermomix Will Save You Money

Yes it's really true... here's our top 10 ways that your Thermomix will save you money! From making your own yoghurt to bread, cocktails to butters, dips to pastry and more...

One of the biggest considerations when buying a Thermomix is weighing up the cost (and at over $2k, there's no doubt that it's a massive expense!) and the ways in which it could save you money (thankfully there's LOTS of them!).

We've included 10 of the top ways that your Thermomix can save you money below.

How Your Thermomix Will Save You Money

1. Butters

Store-bought butter and nut butters can be pricey and also full of additives. Making butter and nut-butters in your Thermomix couldn't be easier (or cheaper).

2. Pizza Bases

Every Friday night is pizza night in our house... so you can imagine how much of a money saver the Thermomix is on those nights!

In fact, you can make your own pizza bases in the Thermomix for around $1.00. That's a huge saving on store-bought pizza bases (or takeaway pizzas).

Thermomix Pizza Dough

Our simple Thermomix pizza dough is always a hit with the family and makes a great option for Friday night 'fake-away'. Create a masterpiece with your favourite toppings.

3. Yoghurt

We're massive yogurt eaters in our house and would easily go through around 2kg a week (on muesli, for a snack, in smoothies etc).

At the supermarket, our favourite yoghurt costs around $7.00 for 600g, whereas you can make 1kg of yoghurt in the Thermie for around $3.00. That's a massive saving for us.

Here's our super easy pot-set yoghurt recipe (including lots of tips for getting it right!).

Thermomix Yoghurt

Our Thermomix Yoghurt tastes just like Jalna vanilla yoghurt... but at a fraction of the cost and made from just 5 ingredients. This recipe can easily be doubled for larger families.

4. Homemade Bread

Making your own bread, rolls, scrolls, buns and loaves can save you a pretty penny (plus there's no additives or preservatives!

Gourmet olive and parmesan loaves can cost around $8.00 from the bakery, and yet you can make one for around $2.00 in the Thermomix.

Similarly, a dozen rolls in the Thermomix will set you back about the same cost as 2-3 rolls from the bakery.

This is a great way to save money with your Thermomix every day of the week!

5. Homemade Stock

Vegetable and chicken stocks are a staple in any kitchen and making your own not only saves you money, but you also know exactly what's going into it.

Homemade stock can be frozen in ice-cube trays ready to use whenever needed.

TIP: Ask your consultant to show you how to make homemade stock when they deliver your machine - it's a game changer!

6. Almond Meal

I do a lot of baking, so this one is a huge thing for me! A tiny packet of almond meal at the supermarket is so expensive (around $15.00 for 500g) and yet you can make your own in the Thermomix for just over half that cost.

Plus, we always have almonds sitting in the pantry, so it's easy to whip up a container of almond meal... and it only takes a couple of seconds!

7. Smoothies, Juices & Cocktails

I've certainly been known to pop by Boost Juice for a mid-afternoon pick me up. And while I love their juices and smoothies, one drink can cost over $6.00. Using the Thermomix lets me make 2-3 juices and smoothies for the same price.

Here's a few of our favourite smoothie recipes:

Ooh and lets not forget the HUGE amount of money you can save by making your own cocktails.

We love making cocktails in the Thermomix so much... we've even published TWO cocktail cookbooks!

8. Cakes, Biscuits & Slices

If you're someone who buys store-bought cakes, biscuits and slices, then a Thermomix will save you a huge amount of money! Making your own baked goods from scratch is one of the biggest money savers.. plus they'll taste far better too!

9. Dips

We used to buy dips from the supermarket every single week (at around $5 per dip!). But after buying a Thermomix, there's no way I would buy them again!

Homemade dips are so quick, easy and cheap to make in the Thermomix.

10. Pastry

And lets not forget that the Thermomix makes the most delicious pastry ever... plus it's oh-so-easy.

Best of all, it's so much cheaper than buying frozen sheets from the supermarket.

Once you've made pastry in your Thermomix, you can never, ever go back to store-bought again!!

There are so many other ways that the Thermomix will save you money... whether it's by making your own jams or even laundry powder, or by reducing your gas and electricity bills... it really can save you a whole lot of cash!

Most people say that the savings they make from owning a Thermomix would mean that they would have paid it off within a year!
