I use the new Quaker Oats box with the addition of a square piece of black plastic, like the kind photo paper is packaged in. Place this on top of the oats box and then snap down the lid. The Quaker Oats Brand has that lid that pushes in like a stopper. The black plastic then fills the gap and makes it light tight. This doesn't work too well on other brand oat boxes because their lids tend to pop off with the extra material at the edges.
