If you're trying to survive on a budget you need to buy your meats as cheaply as possible.  Buying a whole chicken at $.0.59 to $0.79 per pound is much less expensive than buying boneless skinless thighs or breasts already cut up (at $1.99 to $3 or more per pound).  You are paying so much extra for someone else to cut up your chicken for you.  This quick video shows you how to cut up a whole chicken yourself (and save a lot of money on dinner).

Note:  This video is only 1.30 seconds long and is done by a professional.  You don't have to go this fast, just follow the instructions on the video.
