\"\"<\/a>The Thermomix isn’t a cheap piece of kitchen equipment, but it certainly saves money in the long run. Recipes that have a lot of chopping up, stirring or are tricky can be easily made in the Thermomix.
\nToday I’ve made both Whole Egg Mayonnaise and Tasty Fruit Chutney. This lead me to think about all the things I no longer buy in the supermarket.
\nSo, I’ve decided to list these:<\/p>\n

Mayonnaise
\nColeslaw Dressing
\nSalad Cream
\nChutney
\nTomato Relish
\nPickles
\nJams
\nPeanut Paste
\nPackaged Sauces
\nBottled Pasta Sauces
\nPacket Spice or Coating Mixes eg. Pepper Steak Spice, Fried Chicken Coating
\nCurry Pastes<\/p>\n

Curry Powders
\nBiscuits & Cakes
\nToasted Muesli
\nLess Bread<\/p>\n

Salad Dressings
\nMuesli Bars
\nCanned Soup
\nCastor Sugar – I only buy Raw Organic Sugar (grind into castor in TMX) and Pure Icing Sugar<\/p>\n

I’m sure I’ll think of some more things to add to my list, but that’s a fairly substantial list of products that can be quite expensive. I rarely bought cakes before anyway, but at times I’d have to buy a fruit cake for the lunch box. Now, I make large cakes and freeze half.<\/p>\n

So, although I beat myself up about my dreadful garden and my not-very-clean house and occasionally unmade bed and untidy bedroom, I feel very virtuous about the savings that I make because I produce so much of what I use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
