Saw my mom's old bean recipe cost about 40 cents a meal

I dug out my grandmother's handwritten cookbook last weekend and made her navy bean soup from the 1970s. One bag of dried beans, a ham hock, and some celery and carrots. Whole pot cost maybe $4 and fed me for a week. Has anyone else gone back to cooking like it's the 70s and found it actually tastes better?

Ha! @abbyk10 my grandma's beans tasted better because she'd threaten us with no dessert if we didn't finish our bowl.

Tastes better" how exactly? Less processed, or just nostalgia?
