My wife and I argued over dried beans versus canned for our chili, and after tracking costs for a month, the dried version saved us over $30.

The dried beans took more planning with overnight soaks, but the price per serving was literally half, so has anyone else switched a staple ingredient and been shocked by the savings?

Wow, that's a huge difference! It's crazy how those small swaps add up over time.

What swaps did you make?

Man, my dried bean journey was a disaster, I somehow made bean soup instead of chili. @jordan108, I should have asked for your swaps first.
