There's also a small list near the bottom of this page with some savings too.

I agree with all comments about saving on shopping and the added health benefits.

One of the biggest savings is making your own yoghurt. I make 4 Litres per week.

I think with a thermie (here anyway) there is alot less waste of produce - if fruit gets a bit past it, it gets pureed up (along with the fruit that comes home in school lunchboxes untouched :-)) ) and mixed into the girls porridge - or put into a squeezy pouch and they drink it like that. Veg get frozen then added to the next batch of vege stock concentrate... :D :)

I don't know about food costs now either. Now that I have a thermomix my pantry and freezer are full of different things. I buy a lot of things in bulk (flour, nuts, dried fruits, seeds, rice) and everything gets used.

It is interesting how much your tastes change. Was a bit relieved to read Cuilid's and Nikkit's comments :D Was feeling a bit like Goldilocks as I think most packaged and even cafe/restaurant foods are too salty, too sweet or have that awful "processed' taste.
