Figuring it would take my usual five minute drive, it trippled because of the light sprinkle! And when I arrived, the parking signage gave me and my friend the unfortunate row of red lights - meaning no parking!
But before I threw in the towel, I quickly turned into the mall hand car-wash. Not only did my MINI desperately need the wash, I had valet service and a parking space at the same time!
This simple $14.99 expense saved me the time of both looking for a parking space AND finding a car wash service at a later time!
Did you catch my first tip? Simple. Use the car wash service available at your mall to save yourself from having to look for a parking space or run an additional errand.
There, i just saved you about two hours!

While at a second mall I was greeted by a local charity that was wrapping gifts for a small fee.
What a great opportunity to give back to charity AND save yourself time at home!
Miss this one too? Jeez, you are reading too fast!
Tip #2: pay a small fee to get your gifts wrapped.
Time I just saved you? 1-5 hours (depending on how quickly you wrap your gifts!)

The moral of my blog post and the key to saving time? Don't be afraid of paying a little extra to get things done!
