💰 Cost vs Value (real-world maths)
Scenario | Gousto | Thermomix TM7 + Cookidoo* |
4 people, 4 meals / wk | £52.49 / box → £3.53 pp + £3.99 del. | ≈ £2.16 pp (31p amortised TM7 + £1.85 ingredients) Break-even ≈ 475 servings → ~24 weeks for a family of 4 |
2 people, 3 meals / wk | £31.75 / box → £5.96 pp + £3.99 del. | — |
1-person “taster” box | £19.49 / box → £11.74 pp + £3.99 del. | — |
Because the TM7’s fixed cost spreads over thousands of portions, its price-per-plate quickly beats even Gousto’s cheapest tier—especially once Gousto’s introductory discounts expire.
