Lately every time we go out to visit the wife's grand mother I can't help but notice how well off they are now considering the poor times they lived through. If you want to find out how to live on the cheap, talk to someone who lived through the dirty 30's. Now they had it rough. It's amazing to me to hear the stories of how little they had and yet they got by. As for the farmers market, we have one in the park down the street, talk about good fresh veggies. Can't beat it!

The new GI Bill might be the best thing to happen to troops, but might also be very bad to the services. It will definately be interesting to see if retention decrease now.

Growing up we always bought produce in the summer from the Amish stands along the road. We looked forward to the time when the corn was ready. Tasty and far cheaper than the grocery store!

But as the bombing got worse later on in the war, the ability to move food supplies reduced as the allies bombed the railways. The Netherlands nearly starved to death and British (and possibly other allied countries) dropped food parcels. I think this was with the permission of the Germans, but I'm not sure. The airmen involved have been feted by the Dutch ever since. I know that they had rationing in Germany and occupied Europe as well in WW2.
