The amount of money one receives from Hashem for the year does not include the money that he spends for [[Shabbat]]. <ref> Gemara Beitza 16b </ref> Although one shouldn't force himself to borrow money to buy extra [[Shabbat]] foods, one should spend according to his wealth and whoever adds is praiseworthy. <ref> Rambam [[Shabbat]] 30:7, Shulchan Aruch 250:2, Aruch Hashulchan 250:4 </ref> | # The amount of money one receives from Hashem for the year does not include the money that he spends for [[Shabbat]]. <ref> Gemara Beitza 16b </ref> Although one shouldn't force himself to borrow money to buy extra [[Shabbat]] foods, one should spend according to his wealth and whoever adds is praiseworthy. <ref> Rambam [[Shabbat]] 30:7, Shulchan Aruch 250:2, Aruch Hashulchan 250:4 </ref> | ||

# 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]]. This is also the opinion of Shulchan Aruch 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 Shulchan Aruch 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, Shulchan Aruch Harav 250:7, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 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> | # 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]].
