Pour em in the pot, fill with water about an inch over the top of the beans. 40 mins, and pull em, or 30 mins with 15 min natural release (recommended, but I almost never do it).

Probably not frugal, but instant pot changed my life, in regards to soaking beans. What a time/effort saver.

I was under the impression that bread makers don’t actually save money, they just make better bread for the same money.
