Does anyone buy ice cubes?

I bought some for a BBQ party last week - It's one of the best things I've ever bought! So much better than the cubes you make yourself. They seem denser and better quality water.

For just a few pence they're well worth it imo.

    I buy them for the simple reasons of conveinience & the ice cube trays dont last long before cracking.
    (Plus they're in the fridge right next to the Ginger ale opposite the whiskys!lol)

    We do...i don't think i could ever keep up with demand for them in our house otherwise
  • always, I can't be fannying about with icecube trays etc everyday.

    For the sake of a pound week i'd rather the hassle be someone elses

    :rotfl: I bought them once when OH was poorly and needed to suck ice cubes. They reproached me every time I opened the freezer lid. I'm more organised and keep a single tray of them now. It's like frozen Yorkshire puds or shortcrust pastry. Sometimes the mark-up is too high and I feel that the food is laughing at me. If I want a cold drink, I have water from the tap. Some of us are too cheap for our own good :D
  • Buy them every week!
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    I buy them- mostly because the ones I make myself seem to take on the smell/taste of other things in the freezer, or maybe I just have a sensitive nose :)

    If you make icecubes with boiled water then they come out clear.

    I have just started buying ice cubes. I love a pint glass filled with ice cubes and fizzy water - I can't believe I have missed out on them all these years!

    It is such a small price to pay for such an indulgence.

    Maybe not very MSE, but I love them :D
