Trying to remember some of the stories Mom told during the depression. Like they would get something , cant remember what she called it. Like a token or paper that allowed them one sac of flour or so many eggs.. Its just the same now.

Your mom wasn't alive during the great depression. Just born, maybe.

She complained because her dad would trade the sugar coupon for flour or meal. They had their own eggs. Government asked everyone to raise chickens.

That was WWII.

was it stamps ?

Ration cards for the war effort. We had to feed the soldiers or lose the war. Gas and most foods were rationed.
You had a certain day you could get your allotment. Peeps out in the country had it better than city dwellers.

I didnt ask what kind. Is their feed expensive ?

More than chicken layer pellets. They eat game bird feed.

I think they need "game bird" formula no idea on the cost. But wasn't the part of the reason cap got rid of hers to expensive to feed.

I just need to cut back.

I read today you can freeze milk for 2 months. I am so picky about how my milk tastes. Said it would be good for 10 days after thawing. Anyone try that ?

I used to freeze goat milk for the kids. They liked it fine
