Even though technically one may be getting an authoritative answer on a particular question, it is prohibited to \u201cshop around\u201d to fit a selfish ideal. Additionally, one must not abuse him\/herself. To take on erroneous prohibitions is overly restrictive and harmful to physical and spiritual development.

He would buy his food on the first day for Shabbos (and get the Mitzvah), and the following day he would say, \u201cI found better and fresher food, which I plan to use instead for Shabbos!\u201d This went on each day throughout the week and he would rank up the credit and have each night\u2019s meal set as well. Additionally, when one studies in school, he\/she can do so just to pass a test, or one can have in mind to be appreciating Hashem\u2019s world and wisdom and therby gain Mitzvos!
