Anything needed to help the war effort was rationed. That means each person was only allowed to buy a certain amount. For example, sugar, gas, meat, fat were rationed.

Each person was allowed to buy only a small amount. To make sure people didn't buy more than they were allowed to, goverments issued Ration Books. When you went to the store to buy something that was rationed, you had to present your little book of tickets and the store clerk would tear out the week's ticket and sell the stuff to you. So if you were at the butchers, they would remove the ticket that said you could buy 1lb of beef and sell you the roast. If you didn't have a ration book, you couldn't buy the item.
