Some compound interest: our neighborhood Tom Thumb gives a 10% discount on your cart when you wear a jersey on Sunday to get groceries.

and park (towards the back) by the cart corral. i swear this saves you time and pain.

Yessss! We went to Costco in the middle of the eagles parade here in Philly it was the best (we did stop by the parade in the morning!)

Yes!!! I also went during the Chiefs Super Bowl parade in 2019 - we got the day off work because my office was along the parade route. Amazing!

I've done this a couple times and I love making knowing eye contact with the handful of other shoppers that are there.

Oh yes! This was my hack for getting a spot in the tiny Trader Joe’s parking lot when I lived in Chicago! Bears who?

How have I not applied this to Trader Joe’s?!? So smart! Even in the suburbs, somehow the Trader Joe’s parking lot is also too small!

Okay, this is my strategy too, and I thought we were so sneaky for going to Costco last Sunday during not only the Eagles game, but also a Phillies game, and it was surprisingly PACKED *and* out of Spindrift! I'm still baffled.

100% -- also would like to add, Super Bowl Sunday is hands down the best time to go to IKEA.
