I was at the grocery store the other day and was standing at the canned bean section looking for kidney beans (They go in Chili-man’s chili.) when I noticed an older gentleman stop and look at the beans too.
He started to pick up the ’store’ brand pintos when I saw him start. You know, PRICE SHOCK…. He was taken aback by the price.
That 16oz can of store brand pinto beans was 92 cents. NINETY TWO CENTS!
CRAZY!
He didn’t buy any.
I hope he had some still at home.
While I don’t expect that prices will get any lower anytime soon, I totally understand his thoughts on the price of canned goods.
By the way, did you know that the dried beans from the grocery store WILL GROW if you plant them?
Yes, buy a bag of beans (roughly a buck fifty) and plant them now. Plant them along a fence so they have something to grow up. Before you know it, you’ll be harvesting beans, and getting your monies worth.
