As far as I can tell from my research, the ninepenny loaf of bread was introduced by the government in 1917 to enable the poorest people to eat. There was a potato shortage this year, and people queuing for potatoes. The wheat crop of 1917 was an excellent one, but prompted panic buying in people who had been struggling. This resulted in the introduction of rationing.
Cost of food for a family (family size not specified) was calculated at 18 shillings a week in order to have enough to eat and a nutritious diet.
This was in contrast to a calculated family weekly rent of 6 shillings which demonstrates how expensive food was this year.
In the 1880s, the prices of common items were significantly lower than today. For example, a loaf of bread cost around 5 cents, a dozen eggs were about 25 cents, and a pound of butter was approximately 25 cents as well. A new house could be purchased for around $2,000, while a horse could cost between $75 and $150. These prices reflect the economic conditions and the value of money during that era.
During rationing in World War II, common items had specific price limits set by governments to ensure fair distribution. For example, a pound of sugar cost about 10 cents, while a pound of butter was around 14 cents. Additionally, meat prices varied based on type and availability, with cuts like beef costing around 28 cents per pound. These prices reflected both the scarcity of goods and the economic conditions of the time.
everthing was cheap then hahahah!
In 1793, there were not many household items like there is today. Some items they had were beds, tables, chairs, brooms, pots and silverware.
