Shoutout to dried beans, I was wasting $9 a week on canned ones | Budget Friendly Meals

I used to grab four or five cans of black beans every trip because it felt easier, but that adds up to around $9 a week for my family. Now I soak a $2 bag overnight on the counter and cook a big pot on the stove, and it covers the same meals plus some for the freezer. The texture is better too, honestly. Anyone got a good trick for keeping them from splitting when you cook a huge batch?
