JDMiowa,
Your first concern was when did the women buy the spices. Your answer is found in Luke 23:54 KJV, "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on." Yahoshua died on the preparation day, which is the day before Passover. So, the women bought the spices that day. It would be reasonable to assume that they bought the spices after He died. The sabbath that drew on was the single day of Passover. Luke 23:55 KJV, "And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid." Then that night, when Joseph and Nicodemus took Him down and placed Him in the sepulchre, the women came and observed where His body was. Luke 23:56 KJV, "And they returned, and prepared spices, and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." Then the women went home and prepared the spices. They may have prepared them Thursday night or anytime Friday, possibly both days. Then the Saturday sabbath arrived and they rested according to the commandment.
Mark 16:1 KJV, "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." When the women bought these spices is not a mystery. Luke 23:54 already told us that they bought them on the preparation day before Passover, therefore, they bought them on Thursday. When the sabbath (Saturday, the first day of the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread) was passing, they came to the sepulchre.
