Hi Supermum, thank you so much! I have wanted this ever since my daughter started solids (now she's 2) and now that I am getting a Thermie, I have started thinking about a second bub :D

We spend up to $100 a week on takeaways ($35 for once a week vegan takeaway, $25 for weekend Indonesian food takeaway, then $5 a day for lunch for me and hubby) because we're both so busy. That money will be put to much better use with the Thermie!

I also spend heaps of $$$ to feed my fussy daughter, keep tossing food out, etc. When she's teething or sick, the only thing she'll have are the smoothie/puree pouches, and they are $2 each! I have purchased reusable pouches and will stock up on homemade purees and smothies for my fusspot and save $$ that way.

wow, it will have paid for itself in no time!  :)
where did you buy the pouches from? Great idea, esp for travelling, they are as mess free as you can get!
you mentioned very busy, do you & hubby run ur own business? What kind of work do you do?  :)

great, thanks! And I just checked them out and saw they are Aussie product - something I'm VERY passionate about so will definitely be buying some and also promoting them on my ThermoStyle decals fb page. I reckon there'd be heaps of thermi mums that would love to know about them!

I got the reusable pouches from Squeezems but will check this on out as well. The Squeezems pouches are very small, it only holds half of what usually goes into the regular pouches. Good for little bubbas but not for my impatient toddler!

Supermum, DH and I are full time students AND run a consulting biz on the side. Business was good this year (hence the purchase) but at the same time I was completing my thesis so I almost went mad trying to juggle everything.

FYI the Squeezems ones is also by an Australian business. They are reusable but frankly filling and cleaning is a pain. Pouched seems so much more practical.

Vege stock paste! And now will attempt a mushroom risotto and later cauliflower chickpea curry. Wish me luck!

You dont need it... Go for it and just remember to read reviews of recipes in the books on here as any problems members have had will avoid you making amy mistakes from errors in recipe books.. Just go to recipe book reviews and look at what recipe your doing and amend your recipe book if necessary..
