When I was 9 years old and I wanted the prize in a box of cereal, but
there were no more in the supermarket, I would go to the corner grocery
where they seemed to have old boxes.  I probably only did this once, but
I think it was pretty clever of an 8 or 9 year old to notice this or
figure it out.  My mother had a car so I don't think she ever went to
that store, so it was all me.
