Answer 1

My mother lived in California during this time and has told me that bread was ten cents a loaf. For a dollar you could go the store and get a large grocery bag filled with all sorts of vegetables and bread. Meat was more expensive. During the war prices were controlled by the government and many items were rationed.
the same it cost the day before

Answer 2

You need to specify a country and a time. There's a widespread misconception that specific goods were simply either rationed or not rationed and that the amount(s) allowed then remained constant throughout the war. The tendency in all coutries was for more and more things to be rationed, and for the amounts allowed to be reduced.

In Britain, for example, bread was not rationed during World War 2, only afterwards!
