Monthly ration in Poland, early 1980s
(lemmy.world)
If you still gained a salary from work and could buy the rest of what you need this really isn't that bad
I don't think you got this for free, it was probably just the maximum you could buy of any of these items in a month. That's how war time rationing worked in the UK.
Now you know why people don't smile in Poland.
500 ml of vodka? Bullshit, there was plenty of vodka and it was distilled legally and illegally.

That's not enough butter. I would have been put down young for rioting about criminally low amounts of butter.
