I agree. I went to the grocery store this morning and made a
point to price dried beans. Most are between $2-3 dollars per
pound. Already cooked canned are much cheaper.

Great northern or navy beans are much cheaper buying precooked in
the can.

Even Jill's beloved pearl barley cost $1.99 per pound. I buy them
often to add to soup.
