Tax season is almost over, which means tax returns are upon us. And while we fully support Donna and Tom’s “Treat Yo Self”movement, we have to admit that there are some things we just shouldn’t spend our money on. If you want to maximize your tax return check, look no further. Heating Specialties has compiled three things you absolutely shouldn’t spend your return on and one you definitely should.
Don’t Buy: A Zoo Animal
Listen, we understand. You’ve got this big ol’ check andyour mind immediately goes “giraffe,” or “monkey,” or“white-nosed coati.” But purchasing a wild animal requires a bunch ofpaperwork at best, and at worst is illegal in the state of New Jersey.
Plus, the Cohanzick Zoo is completely free. That’s right! You can save your tax return and watch whatever animals spark joy for absolutely nothing.
Don’t Buy: A Gas Pump
Unless you’re an attendant who has received fuel dispensinginstructions, using this purchase would be in violation of the RetailGasoline Dispensing Safety Act. Thank you, next!
Don’t Buy: Gold Chocolate
Chocolate is a delicious luxury, but maybe it doesn’t needto be so luxurious. Goldchocolate can range from $294 for black truffles in a Swarovski box to a$1.5 million box from Le Chocolat. We think there are delicious alternatives atthe grocery store that won’t break the bank.
Buy: A New Air Conditioning System
Use your tax return to ensure your family’s comfort foryears to come. Take advantage of Heating Specialties’ pre-season special andsave $300 on a new air conditioner. Go ahead, treat yourself.
