Cutting PVC

If you have to cut PVC in half width wise, what is the best method. For the first time I cut em I spend $20 to get 2 10 footers cut in half. Way too much if u ask me. My friends use electric saw things, but I dont have one, and its not that clean of a cut anyway. Any ideas?

if you have to cut them, snap a line with a chalk line to get a straight line, and just use a handsaw going slowly and carefully and it will be fine

if you have to cut them use a jig saw and go slow or use a radial saw and pull the blade up more so it doesnt hang down so far.
