Ziploc and Glad sell inexpensive storage containers that can be frozen. Also, I think one or both of them sell bags that can stand and be filled, and then frozen. Just remember not to fill anything to the top, to allow room for expansion. *OR* you could run a hose to NY, and I'll take it off your hands :-D Reply #1. Nov 22 16, 2:28 PM |

What about one of those inexpensive tupperware-type containers you can get at the grocery store? They'll seal airtight. Reply #2. Nov 22 16, 3:28 PM |

How about sending the hose to Long Island? You can send it underwater and skip the turnpike. Why don't ice cube trays work for you? That's all I used to use. I just got a horrible vision of what my freezer must have looked and smelled like. I know what the fridge smelled like because I started to clean it out a month after the fire! But the nasty in charge of everything insurance adjuster showed up and told me I was in the way. I later found out the poor guys that had to clean it out didn't mind at all that I was doing it. They thought it was very nice of me to do any of it. Why did she yell at me? She thought I was throwing things out before she could take pictures of it so I could claim sirloin steaks and caviar among the spoiled food. Reply #5. Nov 22 16, 7:59 PM |

It hurts my hands to use the modern ones where you twist it to get the cubes out. The ones I grew up with...stainless steel with a lever to release the ice.....starting at $20. I suspect pulling on the lever would result in words you cannot say on television (according to Carlin). I am losing the ability to grasp smallish items and have started dropping more and more. I came to the best place for information....Fun Trivia! I suspect the bags or containers will be my best bet. Reply #6. Nov 22 16, 8:28 PM |

The hose was destroyed on the NJ Turnpike... maybe that explains the delays at Newark Airport :-p Reply #7. Nov 22 16, 8:32 PM |

Happy it worked out! It will be lovely to know it's there on snowy days when it's difficult to get to the market. Reply #10. Dec 02 16, 8:17 AM |
