I found out a bag of dried beans costs about the same as a can but makes way more food

Forget the cost, the real win is controlling the salt. Canned stuff is a sodium bomb.

Totally, you can rinse canned beans but that only gets so much off. Making a big batch from dry lets you season it exactly how you want.

Yeah, that's the thing with so much processed food now. It's not just salt, it's like you're handing over control of your whole meal to some factory line. You end up tasting what they decided was cheap and would last forever on a shelf, not what actually tastes good. Getting back to basics with dry beans or even just making more stuff from scratch feels like taking that control back. It's a small choice that adds up.
