I think that an app dedicated to tracking what items a family has in their home and helping them to utilize it all to its full potential would be nice. For example, it would allow Mothers to keep note of which food items they have, in turn helping to ration and plan meals. It could also help with keeping up with clothing items and household products, which could help many to know what extra items they have, allowing them to donate whatever they have left over to the war fund. It could also function as a planner for scheduling trips to town, meals, and many other chores.

What did the people who lost their homes need? Where were they staying? Did they need warmth?

# data[].attributes.body
When thinking about what people lost during the Great Depression, I thought about how a lot of people lost their homes. During the initial stock market crash that happened in October the weather was starting to get progressively colder. Which is where the heated part starts to kick in. The more the Depression started to affect the American people the more homes were being lost and more Hoovervilles were being created. Being forced into a Hooverville was less than ideal but could have been made more tolerable with a large tent that could fit the whole family and some belongings. Along with the heated features it would keep everybody inside warm and out of the brisk falls and fridged winters. A tent may not be as sturdy as a house, but it is a lot sturdier than boxes and has more room than a traditional tent.

A solar-powered radio is one item that could have been of tremendous assistance to individuals in the 1930s, particularly those who were struggling financially due to the tremendous Depression.

Many families found it difficult to pay for even the most basic requirements during the 1930s, let alone luxuries like radios. But without the constant cost of electricity or batteries, a solar-powered radio may have offered useful access to news, entertainment, and information.

Here's how it would've benefited their lives:

1) Families might have remained up to date on significant news events, including political changes, economic trends, and weather predictions, with the help of a solar-powered radio. They could have made wiser choices regarding their everyday activities and finances if they had known this information.

2) A radio would have given families the much-needed distraction and pleasure in a period with few possibilities for entertainment. They may cheer themselves up during bad times by tuning in to music, comedies, dramas, and other programming.

3) Educational programs that could have benefited both adults and children were broadcast on radios. Educational radio programs could have served as an adjunct to formal education for kids whose financial circumstances prevented them from attending on a regular basis.

4) During a period of widespread poverty and isolation, radios would have provided a means of connecting individuals with their communities and the outside world, thereby building a sense of solidarity and belonging.

5) During emergency situations or natural disasters, a solar-powered radio would have offered a dependable way to get crucial safety instructions and information from authorities.

**I'm reposting this article as I feel that during our current times of unreliable supplies and economic uncertainty due to the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, most of us will be having to really pull in our belts and ration our food, certainly try and make it stretch further.

Please take a look at the standard WW2 food rationing allowance in Britain during WW2. It was created to ensure that EVERYONE had access to the same foods every week/month regardless of wealth. Rationing ENSURED that everyone got their basic needs. People supplemented their rations with other foods they could freely buy in shops (IF available, there was no guarantee and plenty of shortages)and people turned to growing lots of vegetables in their gardens and allotments to ensure health and fuller tummies.

Much love, C xxxx

--------
Original post from 2017 below
A couple of my goals for 2018 are to save a substantial emergency money fund AND to lose a very achievable 60 lbs in weight. The two things that concern me right now are financial safety and health safety.

One area to save on expenses would of course be eating food that doesn't cost so much but still is healthy. Following a ration book diet, although it sounds austere and boring, could be a perfectly doable way to save money and lose weight in the short term, its certainly worth giving it a go for a month or two...

So out of curiosity I've broken down first the guaranteed weekly/monthly ration for an adult into how much each item would cost per person and in addition I've also added in the cost of extra staples that a person may typically purchase during the week/month such as bread, oats, pulses etc.
Here is what it roughly worked out as per person per week using today's prices
2-3 pints milk (Dairy milk 75p- £1.10 Plant milk £1.50-2.00)
8 oz sugar (15p)
2 oz tea- about 25 tea bags (50p)
8 oz margarine/cooking fat (70p)
2 oz butter (45p)
2 oz cheese (40p)
1 egg (15p)
4 oz bacon/ham (40p)
Meat to the value of 1s 2d - could be mutton or small pack of sausages or sliced corned beef (£2)

Additionally you were guaranteed to be able to buy one large jar of jam every two months (£1.50 every two months), 12 oz of sweets every month (£1.50) and were allocated 16 points every month to purchase other foods in shops if they were available (only rationed food was guaranteed).

Monthly 16 points example (I think I would spend my points on this)

Lentils/Pulses 2 lbs = 4 points = (£2)
Rolled oats 2 lbs = 4 points = (75p)
Baked beans 2 cans = 4 points = (75p)
Bread/small flour = 4 points = (£1)

Vegetables either bought or grown weekly (I've used Aldi's prices using Super 6 where I can - I personally use a seasonal organic box delivery for my vegetables but want to show the cheapest way to eat on food rationing)

1 small swede (28p)
1 small bag potatoes (28p)
1 small bag carrots (19p)
1 small cabbage (50p)
1 small bag apples (£1.50)
A few onions or leeks (50p)

Using all the above as a rough example I can see that the monthly amount spent on all the above to feed 1 person for 1 month works out to be

£39.00 ( about $52 USD) for one month.

This unbelievably works out at less than £1.30 per day per person for breakfast, dinner, lunch and extra fruit.

What do you spend? Is it more or less than this? Please share!

I´ll put warm socks, blankets, and clothes in there so they can stay warm during the cold. For food, I´ll put eggs, bacon, bags of flour, milk, cheese, and some canned foods with beef jerky. And for them to stay clean AND hydrated, I´ll put lot of water jugs and some soap bars, as well as bathing towels. I´ll also put maybe, 2,000 dollars for them and they can all split it a piece, and also add some makeup and hairbrushes for the women. Hairbrushes for the men, too. Maybe some toenail clippers and razors as well, to stay trimmed and keep hygiene.
