Rationing inRationing in
WWIIWWII
Before the Second World War began,
Britain imported about 55 million tons of
food from many different countries every
year.
When war began in September 1939 this
importing was stopped because the ships
were being bombed by German
submarines.
There was a worry that this would lead
to a shortage of food supplies in the
shops so rationing was introduced in
January 1940.
Everyone was issued with a ration book
containing coupons that had to be
handed to the shop keeper when buying
goods.
Bacon, butter and sugar were the first
foods to be rationed, followed by others
such as meat, eggs, cheese and milk.
Potatoes, fruit and fish were not rationed.
To buy restricted foods, people handed
their ration book to the shop keeper. They
removed the coupons and took the
appropriate amount of money.
People were encouraged to grow their
own food. The ‘dig for victory’ campaign
asked every man, woman and child to
keep an allotment.
Gardens and parks were used to grow
vegetables to eat at home. Children were
encouraged to get involved by digging
and planting seeds.
Scraps of food were kept to feed to pigs
and other animals. Kitchen waste was
kept in big bins and collected to feed the
animals.
Clothing rationing began in June 1941.
There was a shortage of cloth to make
clothes so people were encouraged to
‘make do and mend’.
To buy new clothes people used coupons
as well as money. Every person had a
clothes ration book which allowed them
one new outfit a year.
Food rationing lasted for 14 years in
Britain. Following the end of the war in
1945, rationing continued until ending in
1954.
