I don't think you got this for free, it was probably just the maximum you could buy of any of these items in a month. That's how war time rationing worked in the UK.

This was the USSR. They didn't pay for this.

To buy sugar, cigarettes, shoes, petrol and many other goods they needed not only money, but also special coupons.
