Better to buy the smaller cans if this is going to be a common
occurrence.

Beans are relatively cheap, so I would either manage to use them in a
meal within a couple of days or discard them. If you freeze them,
you're liable to forget you have them, locating them could be a
pain.....not worth the trouble.

Toss them with some tuna, some cooked macaroni and a light dressing of
vinegar, oil and some spices. Makes an easy lunch. Or use in a batch
of chili.
