Stumbled on a stat about canned beans that blew my mind

I was browsing through a USDA report last Tuesday and found out that dry beans are about 70% cheaper per serving than canned ones. That really surprised me because I always grab canned for convenience. I did some quick math on my own shopping from last month and realized I could save around $15 a week just by switching to dried. That adds up to nearly $60 a month for my family of four. Has anyone else made the switch and found a good trick for soaking them faster without a special gadget?

$60 a month from just switching to beans? No way, that's insane.

Man that's rough, I feel for you. Groceries are getting crazy expensive and every little bit helps.
