Question
It is known that a person’s expenses are fixed for him from Rosh Hashanah to the next Rosh Hashanah, except for expenses for Shabbat and Yom Tov, and Chol HaMoed is also included (Tur and Beit Yosef, Orach Chaim, siman תיט).
If I bought a new hat specifically for Chol HaMoed, but I intend to continue using it on weekdays afterward as well – is this considered an expense for Chol HaMoed, or a regular expense that is not included in the promise regarding Chol HaMoed expenses?
