Question
Do the expenses incurred for the Rosh Chodesh meal return like Shabbat expenses or not?
Answer
The Gemara in Tractate Beitzah 16a states that all of a person's sustenance is determined for him from Rosh Hashanah to Rosh Hashanah, except for the expenses of Shabbat and Yom Tov, and the expenses for his children's Torah study. Indeed, the Gemara does not mention Rosh Chodesh expenses.
Nevertheless, the Darkei Moshe wrote that the Avudraham brought in the name of the Jerusalem Talmud that even Rosh Chodesh expenses are included in this. And in the Beit Yosef, it is written that the Gemara did not mention Rosh Chodesh because they are included in the Yom Tov meal.
Thus, the Mishnah Berurah ruled in Siman 419, Subparagraph 1, that Rosh Chodesh expenses do return.
