Close enough... 1 lb dried beans equals aproximately three 1 lb cans.
I've been in the mood for lima beans so yesterday at BJs I bought two
2 lb bags of large limas. A 2 lb bag cost $4.19... a 1 lb bag at the
small market in town cost $3.49. Dried beans have gotten expensive
over the last few years, which is why I mostly use canned... canned
actually costs less than dried when purchased in larger cans, and no
cooking.

Anyone who uses mixed beans is not only a novice cook, they are also
afflicted with TIAD... don't you know those are dried bean warehouse
floor sweepings... when those huge sacks of beans burst it's cost
prohibitive to separate the different varieties.
