Independence Looks Like Sealed Tupperware

Picture this: your young adult, newly independent, stocking their fridge with groceries they bought themselves—fresh veggies, sandwich fixings, maybe even a tub of yogurt or a carton of eggs. They’re planning meals (or at least trying), eating leftovers, and learning how to make their food last—not just for convenience, but for health and their budget.

Proper food storage isn’t just about avoiding soggy spinach. It’s a real-life skill that helps prevent bacteria growth and foodborne illness, reduces waste, and stretches every grocery dollar. It’s the kind of thing every grad should know—and that’s exactly the kind of practical wisdom we packed into Unsolicited Advice for the High School Graduate: A Practical Guide for Becoming Independent.
