    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...

    A collage of recipes made in a Thermomix machine.

    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).

    Thermomix Peanut Butter | 1 Ingredient Recipe

    Introducing the EASIEST and healthiest Thermomix peanut butter recipe ever! All you need is 5 minutes prep time and 1 ingredient - PEANUTS!!!

    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.

    Turn our pizza dough into a delicious pizza... just like this one!

    Thermomix Italian Sausage, Tomato & Basil Pizza

    A deliciously crispy Thermomix Italian Sausage, Tomato & Basil Pizza... the perfect recipe for pizza night! This is a guaranteed family favourite!

    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. 
    Thermomix Yoghurt Recipe
    Place all ingredients into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 12 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 3. Meanwhile, fill a ThermoServer with boiling water and set aside. When the yoghurt has finished mixing, pour the water out of the ThermoServer and dry it completely (it will now be warm). Pour the yoghurt into the ThermoServer, cover with the lid and then wrap in a towel or blanket to keep warm. Leave for 12 hours (without opening the lid) in a warm room. Then place into the fridge for at least 3 hours before using.

    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!

    Here's a few of our favourite Thermomix breads, rolls and scrolls:

    • A delicious Thermomix Sundried Tomato Pesto & Cheese Pull Apart Bread that's perfect for lunch boxes, served with soup, or all on it's own!

    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:

    • Thermomix Strawberry Smoothie

    • A glass with a straw in it, filled with a frothy mango smoothie.

    • Super Green Thermomix Smoothie

    • Thermomix Banana Smoothie

    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!

    front covers of cocktails volume 1 and 2 books.

    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!

    Check out some of our most popular cakes, slices and biscuits recipes:

    • Vanilla Cupcakes on a cake stand.

    • three condensed milk biscuits stacked together with more biscuits in the background.
      Thermomix Condensed Milk Cookies
    • Thermomix Chocolate Chip Cookies

    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.

    • Thermomix Cream Cheese & Sweet Chilli Dip

    • Thermomix Roasted Capsicum & Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

    • Thermomix Roasted Pumpkin Dip

    • A white ramekin filled with Baba Ghanoush dip.

    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!!

    • An overhead shot of a ball of shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured board.

    • Thermomix Sweet Shortcrust Pastry | Egg Free
    • A ball of pastry dough on a floured wooden board
      Easy Olive Oil Pastry
    • Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiche
      Easy Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiche

    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!

        Hi Loren,

        Oh I totally understand, I haven't gotten rid of my Kitchen Aid because 1. I still use it for some things and 2. It looks so pretty! Thankfully I was able to give my food processor, blender, stick mixer, milkshake maker away to friends.

        I find I like to use my kitchen aid for cakes that benefit from whisking and adding "air". But love my thermie and couldn't do without it now. I'm sure they would keep each other company on your bench.

      All these things one can do with a food processor, so paying $3k for a thermomix is not really saving money

        We totally agree that the Thermomix is a super expensive item! But, as our post is trying to point out, there are so many ways that you can save money using your Thermomix (and this is only a very small list of the full range of ways). We're not trying to convince people to buy a Thermomix, but rather to show the ways you can save a few dollars if you do happen to buy one. We totally get that a Thermomix isnt everyone's 'cup of tea' so to speak! 🙂

        I have never seen vegetable stock cooked in a food processor. Or any other cooked meal, sauce, spread, jam, soup, gravy, casserole, curry or coulis.
        Apples/oranges.
        Just saying.

          Hi GrandMa, It certainly sounds like you love your Thermie!!! Sounds like you get a lot of use out of it too! 🙂

          I so agree with you Grandma, I was able to get rid of so many appliances and have a Thermomix that stays on the bench and gets used every day. Worth every penny!

      sugar. I now just buy raw sugar and make my own castar and icing sugar. I also used spend so much money on microwave rice simply because i could never get it right on the stove top or rice cooker. The thermomix does an amazing job.

      I totally agree. It's so important to know what is inside your food. You could add to your list Nutella also. And icing sugar. That saved me a lot of money! xx cathy
      ps: could you give me a link for a good veggie yogurt thermomixable? My trials were always disasters!
