The economy was not very good. People had food shortages and spent their 300 yen that they got a month on very basic food. People were shunned when they indulged in luxuries like rice, bean paste, sugar and vinegar because it was considered unpatriotic. Prices on food was 20% higher than before the war, and very few citizens could afford that.
