The public had "ration books" each month and they were only allowed to have so many pounds of sugar, milk, eggs, meat, etc. Battleship linoleum (extremely durable) was about the only thing you could buy for your floors and only had 2 - 3 choices of color. Building materials were scarce as were anything made out of metal. Paint was scarce and came in a very low variety of colors. Clothing was difficult to get and costly so many of the women made their own. Nylons for women were almost extinct so they would draw a line down the back of their leg to look like they had nylons on. Housing was hard to get and many people lived in "war time houses" that were very basic. People tried to take public transportation to conserve on gas. Kids went from door-to-door to collect aluminum foil products, metal to go towards the war effort.
