    $5.08/lb

    Nowhere near that cheap nowadays, more like $6-7/lb for the cheap stuff and $9-10 for the super lean

        Beans

        Fr tho. I bought 180lbs of dry beans this year and its been amazing for my budget and health. The bean memes, if anything, are underselling their amazingness.

      I wonder where some of you folks live, my grocery store sells it for $3 a pound around here, sometimes even less.
