Buying cigarettes at the drug store for mom when 6 or 7 years old. Did that at about age 10 at a local farm market/convenience store for my grandmother when she occasionally baby sat us kids. In the name of full disclosure I will admit that I also had a note from her and she had also talked to the store owner on the phone beforehand. My sister and I sometimes laugh about the very idea of sending some kid to the store nowadays to buy a pack of smokes.

Mason shoes too, with the door-to-door salesmen. I actually had a pair many moons ago. 2 of my Great Uncles sold Mason shoes.

Granddaddy always bought Mason shoes/boots. Spend your big money on your everyday work shoes/boots. Go cheap on the Sunday go to meeting shoes you only wear one time a week. You’re be in your work boots 6 days a week as opposed to 1 for the dress shoes. He worked at a cotton seed oil mills all over the Mississippi Delta, installing them and working in them. Stood on concrete and metal a lot. Wonderful distinctive smell omitted by them in the process of obtaining the oil. Just about a thing of the past.

I never could get them to fry up worth a darn, and the taste was very disappointing.

Keds Red Ball Jets were a thing when I was a kid.
Didn't knife or shoot each other for them though. PF Flyers ... will make you run faster and jump higher. I believed that way back when. Plus, they came with a cool toy.

Just as a matter of no interest footwear, , I have a friend who buys footwear two pairs at a time, as his feet are different sizes. Fortunately, his brother is the same, but opposite footed. Works out for both of them!
I remember 10 cent cokes, and the larger 15 cent-ers.
