    Yeap, same around here and I think in many countries around the world, before refrigeration became common.

    But that also gets back to the issue of how to keep milk unspoilt for an entire week at a time, when food was rationed during emergencies like this.

        I’m guessing there were generally no daily deliveries at all. Instead, you’d take your ration vouchers to nearby stores and pick up these supplies, as needed.

        That makes way more sense than this being a weekly delivery, which I incorrectly understood from the thread title.
