1992 At the very best of times and during casefire, a family of four would get 1 sardine can and a small roll of dark rye bread in the morning and a bowl of bean soup and the same bread in the evening. If you were the enterprising sort, after a few weeks of this kind of diet, you could save a can or two and then trade them for offal at the butcher (if you were able to run past the sniper zones).
