Can i get those blue cool box ice things.

You know what i mean, blue cool box frozen packs. Is there a shop renting frozen packs out over night for a fee or any facilities to freeze them?

Would be great to keep me beers cool throughout the day, whilst being pulled around on the trolley.

Thanks

I don't know if you can get them but I wouldn't reccomend them.

What we are doing is freezing everything beforehand ie water bottles,milk,box of white wine,sausages bacon etc

This will keep every thing cool a lot longer than the blue ice packs.

Got some in asda over the weekend. 2 for £1. I'm also freezing drinks before hand but thought I'd chuck a couple of these in and see how they go.

Bear in mind that cool packs don't "hold the cold" any better than ice. Effectively you're carrying in items that will sooner or later warm up & you won't be able to use them for anything... Much better as TheArg says to freeze a few water bottles, food, and in my case a few bottles of pre-mixed vodka & mixers too. That way at least you're at least putting the effort in to carry something you can drink/eat!

Another thing that helps - even for stuff you're not "properly" freezing i.e. cans of cider, try to get it a bit colder than just fridge cold - an hour in the freezer before packing the cool box does wonders... And pack the bag/box as fully as possible - the more air in it, the more it warms up each time you open it...
