Revised dollars cents ceiling for Eastern NC market basket
The OPA issued a revised dollars and cents ceiling for market basket foods across 54 Eastern North Carolina counties effective March 13. The update targets staples like margarine macaroni peanut butter syrups and molasses with ceilings for the first time and may lower some retail prices. Wholesale grocers under OPA rules also face ceilings on sales to retailers. The three month list will align with a nationwide quarterly revision and a smaller paper list will be distributed for ration book size folding.

Regulations require rations to be based on future needs and to exhaust Basic A rations before granting special rations, thus restoration requests for past travel will be denied.
