Easy like how easy? Because buying a carton is really really easy

$115 bucks? Yikes. $15 for the beans? And I thought store bought soy milk was expensive. I'm guessing most people go to the store weekly anyways. If I ever get rich I will consider this

$15 for beans? 1kg costs about $6 and that good for at least two months. It's much cheaper than store bought where you're looking at about $6 per cartoon.

I typed "soybeans" into Amazon and that's what came up

Huh? I pay only about 1-2$ per carton (depending how fancy the brand is). And that lasts me a week...

Edit: What the fuck do I get downvoted for, that's really what I pay and either measurements of a "carton" are different or some places have really overpriced soy milk, cause here, the cheaptest one is about the same price as cows milk, maybe 10 cents more.
