I left out an important step in making tuna salad yesterday: mix the ingredients in a Tupperware bowl so that you can put a lid on the leftovers for storage in the refrigerator. Putting Saran Wrap over a bowl works as a temporary fix, but it doesn't do as well at keeping food fresh and also makes a mess if it gets dropped.
You can buy cheaper immitation storage ware at Target or WalMart perhaps, and there are even some good disposable food storage containers, which I've found can be washed and re-used a few times.
My mom told me a long time ago that Tupperware was worth the price difference, and based on the fact that I have used them for years and rarely had to throw any out until downsizing into our smaller kitchen, I have to agree. And by the way, don't get carried away and buy too many containers.
If you've never heard of any of your friends holding a Tupperware Party, then maybe you should host one of those and earn free Tupperware for yourself. I haven't even heard of a Tupperware Party in the last 30 years, but they probably are quite popular somewhere in the midwest.
As F. Scott Fitzgerald said in The Great Gatsby, "And I like large parties parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy."
I doubt this is much of a money making proposition, but if you enjoy having people over, maybe you should have a large Tupperware Party to give the party a purpose beyond the fun. Then again, you'll want to avoid making a mess that you'll have to clean up, so maybe you should hold it in a park. In any case, get some kind of disposable containers in which to mix your tuna salad and save all kinds of leftovers. Cooking a bit bigger batch means you are prepping a second meal while fixing your curent one, which saves time in the long run.
