Not depression stories, but we left Cuba in the 1960's and we went without a lot for a while.....my grandmother would not throw away plastic egg containers because they could store luttle things....our first xmas out of Cuba our dining table was a door dad unhinched from a room, and the xmas tree was a small tree cut from the yard.
In communist Cuba dad spent a day in jail for having bought food for us in the black market.
I could tell stories...
