Question
A person who bought food in honor of Shabbat, can they eat it during the week?
Answer
He can.
Source
See Sefer Chassidim, sections 996 and 997, where his words contradict this, and in Mishnah Berurah, Siman 242, Section 4, it is written in the name of the aforementioned Sefer Chassidim that if someone sent him food to eat on Shabbat, he should not eat it on weekdays. It seems that specifically there, where the giver insists that what he sent be used for Shabbat, it should not be eaten on weekdays. But a person who buys for Shabbat himself can eat what he bought for Shabbat during the week.
