And they had no problem getting meat.
Her family did a lot of swapping meats with other farm families in their area.

It was getting gasoline and tires that was difficult, especially since many of the wartime bureaucrats would steal ration cards.

There was also a thriving black market.

Would have been stealing wartime supplies for the black market, and charging premium prices.
