My aunt swore dried beans save money, my roommate says canned is worth every penny
My aunt in Tulsa told me to ditch canned beans and buy dried ones to save cash, so I tracked my grocery runs for two months. A 1 lb bag of dried pintos runs about $1.50 and makes roughly 6 cups cooked, while canned sits near $1.20 per 15 oz can. But I burn a whole Sunday soaking and simmering, and my roommate keeps pointing out that my time is worth more than the $4 I save each week. So who's right here, do you factor your own time into the cost or just the receipt?

The "whole Sunday soaking" part got me, I switched to overnight soak plus a quick simmer.
