Today we became shop keepers and customers to experience what the rationing process was like during WW2. First of all we looked at what basic rations looked like and the amounts people would get on a weekly basis. We then looked at some of restricted items. We then took on the role as shop keeper and customer, using our rationing book and coupons inside. We had to make sure we queued then the shop keeper stamped our rationing books when we had purchased our weekly and monthly items. We soon realised that shops sold out of things very quickly and we had to barter with our peers in order to get some of the items we really wanted!
