Using ration books to buy meat...still have a couple. And the little meat market that was rumored to sell meat without proper ration stamps. And we played war...shooting down the K****s and the J***s.
I remember when I was a kid using Aerograms for overseas mailing that I needed to make. A thin lightweight piece of foldable and gummed paper for writing a letter for transit via airmail, in which the letter and envelope are one and the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogram
I remember those! I used them to write to my foreign pen pals.

I remember using those, too. Also the "penny post card". No one ever referred to it as a "postcard". It was always a "penny postcard". Even after the price of postcards when up it was hard to give up the phrase "penny post card".
Telephone company credit cards that started with the phone number, followed by a three-digit code that supplanted the area code, and ended with a letter.
No computers
No cell phones
