Unpopular opinion incoming… 👀
We’ll spend $2,000+ on the latest iPhone without batting an eyelid.
A device designed to keep our eyes on a screen.
Scrolling.
Watching.
Replying.
Checking.
And sometimes sitting at the dinner table together… while barely actually being together.
But tell someone a Thermomix is $2,649 and suddenly it’s:
“WHAT?! For a kitchen appliance?!”
And it got me thinking…
When did we become so comfortable spending thousands on technology that can disconnect us, but question spending the same amount on something that can actually bring us together?
Because there’s something a Thermomix has brought back into my home that you can’t really put a price on.
Excitement around the dinner table.
Trying a recipe we’ve never had before.
“OMG, you MADE this?!”
Talking about whether we’d make it again.
Fresh bread being pulled apart while it’s still warm.
Homemade pizza nights.
Sitting down, eating and actually talking about our day.
Food has always connected people.
Long before phones, social media, reels and notifications, we gathered around a table.
And I think somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten how valuable that actually is.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my phone too.
But it’s funny how easily we justify $2,000+ for something designed to be replaced every few years…
Yet $2,649 for something that can help us cook from scratch, try new foods, save time in the kitchen and create thousands of meals and memories around the table is considered an outrageous luxury.
Maybe we need to rethink what we call expensive.
So I’m genuinely curious…
If you had $2,649 to spend tomorrow, would you choose the latest phone 📱 or something that could completely change the way your family cooks and connects?
And more importantly… when was the last time everyone in your house sat around the table, phones down, and actually talked over dinner?
