Pinto Beans Single Pouch (4 servings)

Mixed feelings... Price vs shelf life.

This product has a good shelf life (if it lasts as long as promised), but your 4 servings of beans, for $4 is a little steep, considering you can get 4 POUNDS of dried pinto beans for $3.75 at a local Dollar General, and put them into mylar bags, and store them for about 10-40 years. A 4-lb bag of dried beans is about 28 servings, so if you do the math, it would cost you a bit over $28 for the Ready Hour product, vs. under $4 for the same amount of dried beans (okay, add $1 for the mylar bag and $1 for the oxygen absorber, which is actually over-stating the price of those items)... So, $6 versus $28 for the exact same amount of beans. I'll pass on the beans. Plenty of other good options at Ready Hour compared to the beans (money better spenet on the Traveler's Stew IMO).

Love it

Haven’t used the item yet but plan to when needed
