I swore by canned beans until my roommate's slow cooker experiment

We had $15 for groceries last Friday and I was set to buy six cans of black beans, but she showed me a bag of dry beans for $1.89 and said we could cook them overnight. I gave in, and the next day we had enough beans for three meals that tasted way better than the canned stuff. Anyone have other cheap dry goods that beat the canned version?

Hold up, you only had fifteen bucks for the whole week? That's brutal. Glad the dry beans worked out though.

What took you so long to figure that out? The canned stuff is just sad bean soup.

You ever get that moment where you're staring at a can of beans and think 'yeah, this is fine' for years before waking up one day like I did? It took me losing a bet with my buddy and eating nothing but dry beans for a month to get it. Soaked em overnight, threw in some garlic and salt, and suddenly I'm mad at every can I ever bought. My wallet's happier though, even if my pride took a hit.
