I'm sure there are other outfly the wind tricks, feel free to chime in
with your favs.

A lot of my trips are North / South, starting in the Midwest,
departing on one day, returning on the next.

If you time a trip to coincide to leave before a frontal passing, and
return shortly afterwards - you can get a tailwind in both directions.

Also, I study the winds aloft maps to determine best cruising altitude
prior to each flight. I also have XM Sat weather in the plane, which
displays winds aloft info, this is good for making enroute decisions
on altitude selection.
