Not frugal, but taking a break from processing.
You'll want to cut the vent area so it's kinda like --O-- (pretend that is all together, no spaces, heh), with the vent in the middle of the "O".
You do have to help the guts out a bit. The gizzard is a BIG hard thing, and I like to grab that and pull gently, most everything comes out with it. I only save the livers - I'm not that big on gizzards. The heart and lungs usually stay in the cavity, and you do have to pull them out separate. Lungs are usually bright pink on and seem glued to the walls, there are special tools, but I usually slide a finger against the ribcage, and they peel out easily.
