We use a lot of ice in coolers in the summer - so we wash out the milk jugs really good and fill with water (be sure to not fill completely to leave room for expansion)and throw them in the freezer. We have an old upright freezer in the garage which in mainly for the ice. Then when we need the ice we just use a hammer (use the side of the hammer so it won't pound a hole through the jug) and beat the frozen jug to crush ice. We use a utility knife and cut a V-shape to pour the ice out of the jug. Saves a lot of money. Those bags of ice are rediculously expensive. We use the plastic gallon milk jugs for ice.
