i saw a three pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at walmart for $18.

two years ago you could get two packs of 4 for $20

Keep all the weekly ads bookmarked so you can check the loss leaders on sale every week.

Buy proteins on sale and in bulk. Freeze meal sizes.

Same with carbs from grains, rice, etc. Always check the sale aisles and find out what stores have day old/expired shelves with discounts.

Buy fresh fruit and veg during the week, as needed. Buy loss leader sales and process down into freezer bags.

Buy any commonly used item you can afford on sale in bulk as possible.

>Also are there any online resources you'd recommend to help instructing on the cutting styles?
your basics are covered here

you can also check out any of the thousands of youtube vids on the subject.

hell, you could probably bang out all your basic technical skills at home watching YT vids if you had to but developing job-sense, teamwork and all the other relevant skills that separate a professional cook from suzy homemaker are going to take real time spent on the job. that's one of the reasons why '''''culinary arts''''' degrees are bullshit, as a matter of fact. these fresh fish come out of cookie class applying to properties like 'i want to be sous chef' and you gotta tell them, like, 'no, you're going to start at the bottom like everyone else at10/15/whatever an hour shucking fava beans for 11 hours a day.' good luck with that $80,000 student loan debt, yeah?
