Something can be said for those who take the trouble to prepare food on Sundays. They give other people the opportunity to take more time off and relax.
I think it would be a charity for you to eat the food that your parents bought for you on any day of the week, especially if it is something you don't like. That way you could shorten your time in Purgatory.

The level of scrupulosity on this forum is astounding.

Note ‍‡: I.e., "parents come home and buy you" (both verbs being in present tense) is chronologically nonsensical unless the supermarket has a delivery service for orders made from one's home after returning from in-store shopping.  Local delivery-by-drone, anyone?
No, you're just nitpicking at errors that aren't even there. The two verbs can be chronologically concurrent, as in the parents bought the food WHILE they were coming home. It's the same as saying "I ran and broke my ankle". I'm not saying I broke my ankle after I ran, but rather during.

 :facepalm:Generally, no.  Is it necessarily a sin to purchase food on Sunday?  What about gasoline?  Paying a road, bridge, or tunnel toll?  Purchasing a train, plane, bus ticket?  Paying taxi fare?  If any of these is sinful, then most of us are doomed to hell.  So is the priest who paid to bring us Mass and Sacraments.  Only if someone said to me, "I purchased this food on Sunday for the purpose of offending God, and I now invite you to partake of it," might it be sinful.  But who does this?
