Cans of whole tomatoes and whole plum tomatoes were on sale at a store I went to recently. Not diced, stewed, or crushed, just whole. Given the price, I bought quite a few. Wouldn't you know it, every recipe I wanted to try called for diced.
Simple solution. Once I opened the can, I took my kitchen scissors and attacked the tomatoes. Cut them all down to size, so to speak. It worked great.

A way my family enjoys whole canned tomatoes is to just put the can in the fridge until real cold and serve in individual bowls for a side dish-this is particularly good with beans and cornbread!
Finding knorr chicken boullion cubes today for 4 packages for $1.00, I noted that the main ingredient is salt, however, smashing them into powder with a rolling pin, and labeling makes it so that when I go to use the powder I have far more control over it. Not being one to let a great bargain go, I picked up plenty for both me and for my neighbor!
If you have a stick/immersion blender, use it on the tomatoes. You can use it to make diced tomatoes or like I do, straight into juice. I would much rather have the juice instead of the lumps of tomatoes.
