Yes there were also stamps for flour, meat, gasoline and cooking oil.

When Mom and Dad got married they used their whole month of flour and sugar ration stamps to make their wedding cake. And for the whole month they ate bacon, eggs and sweet potatoes 3X a day.

I remember my father-in-law talking about how carefully he drove on a bad tire for some ridiculous length of time because you couldn’t just go buy tires because the rubber was needed elsewhere.
