    I only just got mine, so I can't help much. Our bread is costing about 50-60 cents a loaf (we were buying Burgen before for $4.50) and hommus about a dollar for a fair bit. Just made a big batch of curry cauliflower soup for about $5, but that would normally cost that much to make (but gosh, it's so much smoother than the soup I made before!)

    I think it will take quite a while to pay itself off but I'm not looking to do everything from scratch, I don't think I will make my own butter.

    I make all that stuff from scratch without a thermomix. Except butter. I can get grassfed butter for $1.99 from the supermarket. Why in hell would I make it?

    I contemplated a TMX. I have nothing against them (but then again I have never used one). My DP bought me a whizz bang food processor for my birthday and so I didn't pursue the TMX idea any further. I love cooking and spend lots of time thinking about it, doing it, talking about it, etc. I make everything from scratch. Would I use it if I had one? Yes. Do I miss out not having one? Nope.

    I am with N2L.
    I love cooking, and if I had one, would probably use it.
    But I don't see the value in it, mostly cause I love hiding in the kitchen at 6.30 at night with a voddy and soda.
