Pro tip: lentils beat beans for cheap protein, here is why I switched

Last month at the farmers market, an older guy told me he feeds a family of five on $40 a week using only lentils, and I laughed it off. Then I tried his trick of cooking them with a bay leaf and some bouillon, and my $3 bag lasts twice as long as the same money in beans. Anyone else find lentils way easier on the budget than they expected?

The real win is they don't wreck your gut like beans do.
