My grandma swore dried beans beat canned ones on price, and after 6 months of soaking I owe her an apology
She ran the math on a napkin back in 2019: a $1.50 bag of pintos makes 6 cups versus $1.29 for a single 15 oz can, and I finally tried it last spring when grocery prices in Ohio got bad, so now I want to know if anyone else has a family member whose old penny pinching trick actually held up.

Wait, she ran the math on a napkin back in 2019 and you sat on it for years before testing it out? That is some serious patience right there, I would've caved way sooner just out of curiosity. Honestly the dried beans win checks out though, one bag goes so much further than those tiny cans it's kind of wild nobody talks about it more.
