Serious question: canned beans or dried beans when you're broke

I sat in the aisle at the Aldi on Cleveland Ave for 10 minutes trying to decide between a 79 cent can of black beans and a $1.89 bag of dried ones. I went with the bag since it makes way more servings, but soaking them overnight and boiling for an hour felt like a lot of work for what I saved. The dried ones taste better, no argument there, but on a weeknight after a 9 hour shift I'm not sure it's worth it. Which side are you on, and does anyone have a shortcut that makes dried beans less of a hassle?
