Yoghurt is something that has become a regular for multiple members of the household and I have also been buying the expensive brand Greek yogurt as a lunch food for when I am working (at over $5 for a small tub that lasts 2 days). I remember looking at the Easiyo sachets on and off over the years and they have never been that much cheaper and have had limited variety, so hasn't been something I have explored recently.
On my savvy scrimping mission I decided to have another look. There are definitely more flavours available now and even one with fruit bits (which is something that will go down well in this family), but the supermarket prices are still at a par with the fresh versions when on special. HOWEVER.... What I have discovered is that Easiyo now has a subscription service! You have the choice of 8, 12 or 20 sachets and can select whether you want the subscription monthly, 2 monthly or 3 monthly. Obviously the more you order the cheaper they become...but even for the 8 sachet option the price per 1kg of yoghurt is $4, which comes in cheaper than the pre made on special (and on par for the sachets on special).
Unfortunately I seem to have got rid of my Easiyo maker so my mission for this week is to go to the op shops and see if I can find one second hand...and if not I will buy new, knowing that I will recoop the cost pretty quickly with the savings of $4-$5.
*Update* I managed to find an Easiyo maker, with the 1 litre container and 2 smaller containers for $6 at the Hospice Shop, the sachets were on special for $4 at Countdown so I grabbed a couple. My husband isn't convinced the family will eat the yoghurt so I haven't signed up for the subscription yet.
