Question

Is purchasing and renewing an item on Shabbat, even if it is used later on weekdays, considered recurring Shabbat expenses?

Answer

Shalom and blessings

An item purchased for the purpose of Shabbat is considered a Shabbat expense, even if it is used on weekdays as well.

However, an item that is not intended for Shabbat, but is merely used for the first time on Shabbat, [such as weekday clothing, a bag, etc.] is not considered a Shabbat expense.
