Switching from canned beans to dried beans cut my grocery bill by 40% in one month

I used to just grab 6 or 7 cans of chickpeas every week without thinking, until I added it up at checkout in Austin and nearly choked. Last month I tested out a 2-pound bag of dried ones for $2.89 and soaked them overnight, then boiled them for about an hour. That one bag made the same amount as 4 cans, and the texture is way better for roasting crispy. Has anyone else made the swap and found their cooking time or cleanup gets out of hand with the soaking?
