# One should make sure to buy one's food for Shabbat on Friday and not before unless one feels that one won't be able to find those items if one only goes to the store on Friday. <ref>Gemara Shabbat 117b writes that a pperson should get up early on Friday to prepare for Shabbat. So rules S"A 250:1. Mishna Brurah 250:2 explains that the reason is that by purchasing food for Shabbat on Friday it's more recognizable that one is preparing for Shabbat than if one were to buy the food on Thursday. He adds that if there's a fear that one won't be able to buy one's food on Friday then one may do so on Thursday. So rules Menuchat Ahava (vol 1, 2:1). </ref> | |||
# One must pray before going to buy one's food for Shabbat and if one regularly learns one should not change one's practice and only buy the food afterwards unless there's a fear that one will loose the opportunity to buy the food in which case one should delay one's learning.<ref>Mishna Brurah 250:1, Menuchat Ahava (vol 1, 2:1) </ref> | |||
# If there's a fear that if one waits until after davening one may loose the opportunity to buy one's food for Shabbat before prayer but one should at least say Shema beforehand. <ref>Mishna Brurah 250:1, Menuchat Ahava (vol 1, 2:1) </ref> | |||
# Even if one had many helpers or family members preparing for Shabbat one should make an effort to personally be involved in preparing for Shabbat. <ref>S"A 250:1 </ref> | |||
# There's a righteous practice to taste the food for Shabbat on Friday in order to know whether it's spiced and tasty. <ref>Magan Avraham 250:1, Menuchat Ahava (vol 1, 2:3) </ref> | |||
