# One should make sure to buy one's food for [[Shabbat]] on Friday and not before <ref>Gemara [[Shabbat]] 117b writes that a person should get up early on Friday to prepare for [[Shabbat]]. So rules S"A 250:1. Mishna Brurah 250:2 (based on Magen Avraham 250:1) 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. So rule Menuchat Ahava (vol 1, 2:1), Aruch Hashulchan 250:2, Kitzur S"A 72:4 and Elya Rabba 250:1. </ref> One shouldn't even buy the food on Thursday night. <ref> Nishmat [[Shabbat]] 1:101 </ref> However, if there's a fear that one won't be able to buy one's food on Friday or that the food will not be ready in time if bought on Friday, then one may do so on Thursday. <ref> Pri Megadim Eshel Avraham 250:1, Ben Ish Chai Parashat Lech Lecha 2:6, Shaare Teshuva 250:1, S"A Harav 250:7, Kitzur S"A 72:4, Mishna Brurah 250:2, Kaf Hachaim 250:3. </ref> On a short friday, one may do his shopping earlier. <ref> Ben Ish Chai Parashat Lech Lecha 2:6 </ref>
