Saw a guy at the grocery store buy a whole cart of canned beans

I was at the Kroger on Maple Street yesterday and this guy had a cart filled with nothing but black beans and chickpeas. He had at least 30 cans. I asked him if he was stocking up for a food drive or something. He said no, he just figured out that with a big bag of rice and some spices, he could eat for a month on about $40. Has anyone else tried a plan like that? I'm curious if it actually works or if you'd just get sick of it.

Hot take: I dropped $80 on a 'professional' thermal camera attachment for my phone

I thought it would be a game changer for finding shorts and hot components without taking everything apart. Used it maybe three times in six months, and the resolution is so bad it just shows a big blurry warm spot. For the same money, I could have gotten a decent hot air station tip set or a bunch of flux. Now it just sits in my bag. Has anyone actually found a good use for those cheap phone thermal cams, or are they all just junk?
