A lot are probably shifting towards beans anyway because everything else is getting more expensive.
Yep. 50 lb bag of pinto beans at Sams cost around $20 and fed me for 6 months (I ate more than just that tho, lol). I throw in random junk when I make them for flavor, including meat. But the beans are doing the heavy lifting. I estimate less than a buck for a bean meal that's high protein and nutritious.
Yup. One of my go-to meals in college was Spanish style yellow rice and black beans. Add in some cilantro at the end and some good quality cayenne hot sauce (like Trappey Joes). Super cheap per meal.
Pinto beans can also attract weevils if stored improperly, as an added bonus 😄
Sounds like extra protein to me. I'm gonna make the infestation their problem, not mine
Weevils are friends, not food.
I was literally coming to the comments to say this.
More beans and more mushrooms to bulk up what I make for a weeks worth of lunch and I only eat twice a day now. Everything is too expensive.
