My sister's $2 dry bean trick made me feel dumb about my meal plan
We were talking on the phone last Tuesday and she said she'd soaked a pound of pinto beans overnight, then thrown them in the crockpot with a cheap ham hock for dinner. I've been buying canned beans at $1.50 a can for years and never once did the math, that's like 8 cans of beans for the same money. Has anyone else had a family member casually drop a money saving hack that made you rethink your whole grocery list?

Man, I gotta disagree with you here. Dried beans are cheaper on paper but that pot has to cook for hours and you're tied to the house while it does. Canned beans you open and eat, no planning ahead, no soaking, no babysitting a crockpot. My time matters too and I'd rather pay the extra buck than remember to soak something the night before. Different strokes for different folks, your sister's way isn't automatically the right way.
