I know that people were on rations and they were given vouchers to shop with, but whether anything was free I don't really know. My Mum used to tell me lot's about the second world war and I have also been to Eden Camp in Malton, Yorkshire which is extremely informative. Try a search for vouchers during WW2 and see if you have any luck with that. Sorry I can't help any more than this but good luck with the essay.

Children got free milk at school, milk was not rationed nor bread, potatoes , fresh veg etc people used to keep chickens for their egg supply, anything that had to be imported by ship was severely rationed , meat pork butter margarine cooking fat lard clothing and furniture were all on ration, we used to get ration books , one for each family member supplied by the ministary of food, again children of school age, ( up to 14 yrs) were given extra coupons. Hope this helps you.
