#One may not return an item unless one would not be able to return the item after the festival.<ref>Chol HaMoed p. 108 cites Rav Moshe Feinstein who says that one may not return for a refund. However, if by waiting one will no longer be able to return the object this is considered a dvar heaved and may be returned. </ref> | #One may not return an item unless one would not be able to return the item after the festival.<ref>Chol HaMoed p. 108 cites Rav Moshe Feinstein who says that one may not return for a refund.

#If one traveled during the moed and found a unique object that he will not be able to find when he returns from his trip, he may purchase such an item.<ref>Chol Hameod p 106-107 Rav Moshe Feinstein says that this is considered a dvar heaved because it will save him the trip in the future. However, Rav Moshe says that it is better for one to extend his trip until after the Chag. This leniency only applies if he will not be returning to this city after the festival. Similarly, if a child is visiting a parent during Chol HaMoed and the parent will buy the item for the child, whereas if the parent does not purchase the item, the child will have to buy it himself this is considered a dvar heaved and one may allow his parents to buy it for him on Chol HaMoed.</ref> | #If one traveled during the moed and found a unique object that he will not be able to find when he returns from his trip, he may purchase such an item.<ref>Chol Hameod p 106-107 Rav Moshe Feinstein says that this is considered a dvar heaved because it will save him the trip in the future.

#One is permitted to undergo a sale if he is poor and the sale will provide him with more money that he can spend for the moed.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 539:4. Here the S.A is discussing someone who does not have enough money to spend for Yom Tov, not merely someone who has stingy, but would spend more if he had more money. </ref> | #One is permitted to undergo a sale if he is poor and the sale will provide him with more money that he can spend for the moed.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 539:4.

#One should not pick up an item from a store even if one ordered it before the holiday and even if the store is a non-Jewish store.<ref>Gemara Moed Katan 13b, Shulchan Aruch 534:3, Mishna Brurah 534:16 explains that some say it is because of tircha (unnecessary effort) to pick up something at the store and some say it is because it is going to look like it was commissioned to be done on chol hamoed. According to the last reason it is forbidden even if it is at a non-Jewish store. Chol HaMoed p. 107 agrees.</ref> If the item is necessary for the holiday it can be picked up on Chol Hamoed.<ref>Gemara Moed Katan 13b, Shulchan Aruch 534:3</ref> If it is necessary for a mitzvah item even if it isn't a tzorech hamoed it can be picked up on Chol Hamoed.<ref>Mishna Brurah 534:15 citing the Pri Megadim</ref> | |||
