Warning: I picked dry beans over the $1.29 canned ones and my grocery bill went down $18 a month
Everyone in my family said I was nuts. My sister told me soaking beans overnight was a waste of time and canned was just easier. I tried it anyway for a month. A 2 pound bag of pinto beans at the Walmart on Route 9 costs $2.48 and makes about 12 cups cooked. That is like 6 cans worth. The soaking part takes 2 minutes of actual work. The rest is just the pot sitting there. I made chili, bean soup, and a batch of refried style beans for burritos. Nobody noticed the switch. My husband asked why dinner tasted better. Now she wants my recipe. What is your go-to cheap staple people tell you is not worth the hassle?
