1. Staying Stocked up for Emergencies

Very few people actually stock up for emergencies, especially if they live in big cities where there are grocery stores just around the corner. But the coronavirus pandemic taught us how important it is to keep necessities on hand at all times for worst-case scenarios.

No, we’re not encouraging you to raid your local grocery store and buy 500 rolls of toilet paper, but having an emergency stock ready is still a good idea. From earthquakes to blizzards to other deadly pathogens, you never know what could be waiting around the corner.

Leaving the house might be impossible, so make sure to have essentials ready at all times!

2. Tipping Generously

The pandemic has also taught us a lot about essential workers and, as it turns out, grocery store employees and delivery men and women are crucial to our everyday lives. Without them, we would have stalled far more than we already have.

This also opens up the discussion about how much we pay essential workers in general. You may not be able to change anything about the minimum wage right now, even if you agree it should be higher.

But you can definitely help by tipping generously and showing your support! Whether they’re delivering your Amazon goods, groceries, or fast food, tipping is the best way to show your appreciation!
