They would take the peeling's from the potatoes and put carrots in as well. If they were lucky; meat would find its way into their bowl. They also got a thin serving of bread, they put saw dust on it to make it look more than it really was. Most of the times people would steal others soup and bread and leave them to starve.

Wartime shopping There were no supermarkets. You went to different shops for different items. For fruit and vegetables, you went to the greengrocer. For meat, to the butcher. For fish, to the fishmonger. For bread and cakes, to the baker. For groceries such as jam, tea, biscuits and cheese you went to the grocer. Other shops sold clothes, shoes, medicines, newspapers and all the other things people needed to buy. In most shops, the shopkeeper or shop assistants served customers from behind a counter. Many shops were small family businesses.

People had to register with local shops to use their ration books People had to register with local shops to use their ration books. Often long queues formed as soon as people heard that shops had more supplies. The first foods rationed were bacon, sugar, tea, butter and meat. Lots more foods were rationed later, including sweets! One egg a week was the ration in 1941. There were no bananas, so younger children did not see their first banana until the war ended. Clothes were rationed too, so clothing factories could switch to war work. Paper, petrol and other things, such as soap (one bar a month) and washing powder, were also rationed. What could people buy?
