Recommendations for Budgeting App (that’s not Mint)
After years of Mint I’ve decided to look for other options. Im considering doing it myself in a spreadsheet but before I go that route (not ideal) I thought I’d see if anyone had recommendations on good basic family-budget apps. Would be great if it could link with bank accounts but I’m open to anything at this point.
Frugal Chicken Tip
A caveat: We don’t eat meat from factory farms. Your actual value may differ. We have found that the cheapest way to purchase chicken is whole. (Sometime chicken quarters are similarly priced) As we’ve tightened our budget we’ve opened up to new ideas. So, instead of buying just breasts or thighs we got a whole chicken and to our delight it’s been super easy. I’ve added a link as an example but basically layer some veg (or not) at the bottom of a slow cooker. Place your whole chicken inside and cook on high for about 4 hours. I’m telling you that’s it’s. If you want some crisp you can broil for 5 minutes at the end. We usually have this with rice and veg the first night. Then, after the meal we pick off the extra chicken to us for a casserole or burritos. Then you can even boil up what remains to make a broth or chicken soup base. That’s 3 meals!

Backyard Ultra Race/Training Advice
As the title says any advice on training for and/or running a backyard ultra for a first timer? Background: I’m one of the “started running during covid”people. No longer morbidly obese and enjoying the hobby a lot! After my first marathon last October I decide to try a 50k in 2023 but have now transitioned to the idea of a backyard ultra with an 8+ lap goal.
