Just saw a chart showing how much cheaper dried beans are per serving than canned

Found it in a USDA report, and it's like a 75% price difference. Does that savings actually make up for the extra prep time, or is the convenience worth it?

Convenience is worth every penny to me.

I just soak a big batch overnight and cook them sunday. It's maybe an hour of actual work for a week of beans, and the texture is way better than canned.
