Didn't drink coffee then, but was available, and not instant either. Drank mainly water to be honest, but only from choice.
Don't remember any of my friends being without either. ?
School dinners were good too. Did you not stay for school dinners at the Accy High School ? They were good at primary where I went as well Peel Park.

I agree we were well fed after rationing ended, but the point I am making is that it was home made from basic ingredients, some home grown.
In the last few decades people have lost the art of eating well cheaply and over rely on readymade meals and takeaways.
Even juice in a carton saves you the trouble of squeezing the fruit and it all costs more
