TIL that dried beans at the Hispanic market on 9th cost $1.29 a pound and my $4 canned chili was a scam

I always grabbed cans cause I figured soaking beans was too much hassle, but after my roommate in Austin bet me $10 I couldn't make a pot for under $5, I tried it and got 8 servings out of a bag that cost less than one can, so now I'm curious how many other people slept on dry beans for way too long.
