Holiday Parking

With the Holiday shopping season among us, we know that find a parking spot is not going to be easy. But did you know with some strategies and tips you could make this task a little less frustrating.

Luck will only get you a prime spot. But finding it may turn your hair gray before you locate it. The rule of thumb is, to know where to look, and when to know you have to give up.

First rule, if the cars are moving briskly, well you have a good chance of finding a prime spot. However, if it looks congested, don't even bother, it probably is not going to happen.

When looking for a parking lane to drive down, the third row is the better choice. Most people will either look in the first lane or the second lane. The further down you go from these parking lanes, the better chance you have of getting a parking spot.

Hovering around the good spots, only waste time and gas. And then you start to get frustrated. The back of the lot, may not be your favorite parking spot, but at least you will not be agitated.

You could be a parking spot spotter, follow someone who may be parked in a prime spot. However, this to can take time, and you once again only get frustrated.

You could give up early and give in. Or try one more tip. Search around the back of the store to see if there are any spots and doors to enter in. This is good for any mall shopping. Most like to park at one area of the mall, compared to other spots.

Good luck, and happy shopping.
